How to play it
DO
Bait his pool
He uses W to pool your nados and deny your ult — bait it out first if you're planning an all-in.
All-in window
Force his W out, then commit — with the pool gone your tornado knock-up and ult connect.
Wind Wall value
Your Wind Wall blocks his E and the healing portion of his Q — but not the Q damage.
DON'T
Never all-in while his Sanguine Pool is up — he just pools your knock-up and denies the ult.
