Tips to maximize your impact

An auto after each spell
Weave an auto after each spell: Petricite Burst (passive) turns it into a chain swing around you, with bonus magic damage.
Save Kingslayer for low health
Save Kingslayer (W) to finish or to save yourself when your health drops: its healing grows with your missing health.
Abscond, then throw your chain
To engage, cast Abscond (E), then recast within 3.5 seconds: Abduct (E) pulls you to the first enemy hit and knocks them into the air.
Steal the ult that decides the fight
Cast Hijack (R) on the enemy whose ult can turn a teamfight: you keep a copy of it, cast with your own stats.

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.
