How to play it
DO
Q-stun his ult
When he ults to kill you, use your Q stun and walk away — Highlander expires before you hit 40% health.
Save Q for his heal
If he isn't all-inning, save your Q for his Meditate to cut the heal.
Slow before Bramble
He can put up a decent fight early, especially before your Bramble Vest — play it slow.
DON'T
Never brawl him head-on before Bramble Vest — that's the only window he can actually fight you.
