The Shurima Shuffle combo is W → E → Q during the E dash to push enemies with R — it's an extremely powerful engage.
Place your soldiers (W) through the minion wave and the enemy to poke and farm at the same time.
Your R (Emperor's Divide) pushes enemies back and creates an impassable wall — use it to protect your team or isolate a target.
Azir scales tremendously — play safe early, farm for your items, and you become one of the highest DPS in the game.

Playing against Azir
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Respect his soldiers' zone: if they're between you and him, he controls that entire area with his autos.
His Shurima Shuffle engages his whole team — spread out so he can't push everyone at once.
Azir is very weak in the early game: punish him before level 6 and before his first item.
Assassins that gap-close directly onto him counter him well because his soldiers don't protect him in melee range.
