How to play it

✓ DO

Mind your spacing

Don't stand next to your minions early — he can melee Q onto you there and hard punish you.

Armguard wins lane

Beat him in early trades and rush Armguard — you should win the level 6 all-in pretty easily.

No rush on Hexcore

He has no strong early shove unless he burns every spell, so you don't need an early Hexcore rush.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Skip the early Armguard — that item is what wins you this lane.
