At level 1, approach the barrel pretending to auto-attack to bait his auto, but it stops working after two tries.At level 2, turn back the moment you level up to bait his barrel; if he has no Q or E, jump on him for lane priority.At level 6, his ult has burst; when jumping on him, watch your positioning to dodge barrels.Mid-game, you split push well; his barrels clear waves slowly, giving you turret advantage.In teamfights, you dive the backline; his barrels have AoE threat, use your E to block them.
