How to play it
DO
Roar clears Wither
His Battle Roar cleanses your Wither, stripping your only defensive tool — don't count on it to survive his combo.
Hug your tower
Stand far from the three bushes and hide under turret; don't walk up for CS at level 1-2 or you lose half your HP.
Freeze and farm
Force him to shove the first two waves, then freeze the lane and farm safely — just make sure you never get solo-killed.
DON'T
Never walk up to CS near the toplane bushes early — he hides there and pounces for half your health.
