How to play it

Dodge his Q
His Q heals him and defines the lane: juke it with movement or duck behind your minions, then fight while it's on cooldown.
Win before 6
Trade hard early, especially level 1 before his gray-health shield: you win the lane before he hits 6, so punish him then.
He eats your ult
Post-6 be careful: your ult lasts 5s but his Devour holds you ~3s, so he can wait it out then spit you and your ult is wasted.
Never trust your ult to save you after level 6: his Devour can hold you the full duration and spit you out with Undying Rage already burned.
