How to play it

✓ DO

Your window

If he Ghosts in and you already have a W mark on him, you can stand your ground and challenge — it's a fight you can take, not one to run from.

Dodge his pull (E)

Every 1v1 comes down to his E pull. Ult to dodge it — but as a prediction, never a reaction, since you're in melee range 99% of the time.

Q his Q

Your Q has a small lunge at max range — use it to dodge the edge of his Q with your own.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never stand still against a Titanic Hydra Darius — he stacks his passive on you far too fast.
