How to play it
DO
Dodge his W procs
Take both procs of his W (Rake) at level 2 and he ends you — don't sit in it as he approaches 2.
Windwall then trade
At level 3, Windwall his W and trade — with it blocked he gets out-traded hard.
Pace the early levels
Farm level 1 and poke with Q, then back off before he hits 2 and chill until you reach 3.
DON'T
Never take both W procs when he's about to hit level 2 — that double-hit is his whole kill.
