How to play it

Don't overextend
Care not to push too far: he can shuffle you back under your own tower if you get greedy.
Extended trades
Go for hard extended trades and threaten to kill him every time: you win the skill duel.
Losing trades?
If he's winning the trades, shove the wave and roam instead of forcing it.
Overextend on him: he'll shuffle you under his tower for it.
