Tips to maximize your impact

Land 4 autos before your Q
Land 4 autos before Snip Snip! (Q): each auto adds a snip, on top of the first and the last.
Hit with the center of your Q
Land the center of Snip Snip! (Q): in the center, part of the damage becomes true damage and each snip applies A Thousand Cuts (passive).
Mist against poke
Place Hallowed Mist (W) against poke and ranged CC: enemies outside the mist can't target you, except towers.
Use all three casts of your R
Cast all three Needlework (R) activations within 6 seconds: the first throws one needle, then three, then five, with growing damage.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Walk around his mines
Walk around Hexplosive Minefield (E): each mine explodes on contact and slows you, which helps him land his other spells.
Engage after his Satchel Charge
If you can engage, go in right after Satchel Charge (W): it's his only way to get away, on a 20 to 12 second cooldown.
Get out of the center of his bomb
If Mega Inferno Bomb (R) lands on you, at least get out of the center: the center of the blast deals more damage than the edge.
