How to play it

✓ DO

Sidestep his Q

His early Comet Spear poke and kill pressure are massive — dance around his Q with your own Q movement speed and focus on surviving.

Fight after Iceborn

Once you finish Iceborn Gauntlet the lane flips — with two core items you can actually challenge him to fights and win.

Respect his ult roam

He'll roam with his ult — ping your team ahead of time, and don't greed for plates while it's up or he'll drop on you and kill you.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never overextend or greed for plates in the early game — his poke and ult pressure kill you before your items come online.
