How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his Q

His Q (Plasma Fission) is the early poke to sidestep — play the lane like dodgeball.

Save your ult

Always hold your R to cancel his ult — without it you lose almost every 1v1.

Respect level 6

At 6 he does huge damage if he lands his whole rotation, so stay out of his range.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never blow your ult early — you need it to cancel his ult or you'll lose every 1v1.
