Tips to maximize your impact

Combo with two shadows
To kill, cast Death Mark (R), then Living Shadow (W), Shadow Slash (E) and Razor Shuriken (Q): with two shadows, you throw three shurikens.
Dodge with Death Mark
Cast Death Mark (R) just as the enemy casts their decisive spell: during the dash, you're untargetable.
Save the swap back to your shadow
After Death Mark (R), save the recast to get out: you swap places with the shadow left at your starting point, far from the fight.
Save your energy
Save enough energy for a full combo rather than casting your spells for nothing: Living Shadow (W) refunds energy when you and your shadow hit the same target.
Flank to reach the carry
In teamfights, go around the sides and save Death Mark (R) for an isolated target: going in from the front exposes you to the whole team's CC.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Back off after two Mortal Steels
Get out of his line after two Mortal Steel (Q) hits: the next one makes him dash forward and knocks the enemies hit into the air.
Avoid his hits in spirit form
During Soul Unbound (E), avoid taking hits: when he snaps back, part of all the damage he dealt you is repeated.
Trap his return
If you have ground-targeted CC, place it on the body he left behind: when Soul Unbound (E) ends, he has to return there.
Judge him by his crit items
Judge his threat by his crit items more than his level: Way of the Hunter (passive) raises his critical strike chance, so each crit item does more for him.
Don't line up with your allies
In teamfights, don't line up with your allies in front of him: Fate Sealed (R) hits every enemy in a line and knocks them into the air toward him.
