How to play it
DO
Respect Hammer E
His Hammer E is his self-peel — while it's up he shoves you off, so wait it out before you commit.
Long trades on cooldown
Go for long trades when he can't reach hammer stance or his Hammer E is down — he can't peel himself then.
Otherwise short trades
When his peel is up, play short trades around ferocity and zone him off the wave.
DON'T
Never dump a full commit while his Hammer E is up — he'll just knock you off and peel himself.
