How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his Q

The lane relies on you reliably dodging his Q — every one you eat chips you down to the health where he can all-in you.

Bully him early

Levels 1-2, play very aggressive — zone him off CS and XP with your Q and poke him under tower.

Armguard wins it

Getting a good base with an Armguard reset just wins the lane — as long as you don't take his full combo at 6.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never take his full combo at level 6 — that's the one thing that can flip an otherwise winning lane.
