Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is a skill start — respect his passive shield on the first trade and don't feed it for free. From level 2 you take over: Q's outer-ring execute plus Purge cut through his shield and thin early armor, and his Seismic Shard poke never wins a straight leg-shot exchange against your bulk.
