How to play it

✓ DO

His counterstrike (E)

He blocks your Q and W with E, and since your E and ult are AOE he takes reduced damage from them too. Early on, every tool you have is countered.

Early: don't interact

Don't interact at all early. Perma-push him in, proxy the wave, and force him to burn spells or eat tower — starve the lane.

Why he's hard

His ult gives mixed resists, so your mixed damage isn't as effective. You don't out-stat him — you out-scale him.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to duel him before your core is online — early game, everything you do he simply counters.
