How to Beat Hayabusa — Strategy

Hayabusa is a assassin. The same strategic principles that beat assassins in general apply to Hayabusa specifically:

1. Build defensive items early — Athena's Shield, Radiant Armor or Antique Cuirass before your second damage item.
2. Ward jungle entrances and river crossings to deny the gank setup assassins rely on.
3. Group with your team — assassins thrive when carries are alone.
4. Save your hard-CC for their dive — burst windows are short, lock them down before they get out.
