Hold W to kite, use dashes to dodge outer Q, and win trades easily.Control the wave to force him to last-hit; if he steps up, W back and punish.Watch for his ult at level 6, use E to dodge his Q3.Once Eclipse + Spear of Shojin are complete, your split push pressure is strong.In teamfights, beware of his AoE; look for flank angles to cut into the backline.
