If you're being bullied early game, use Bladesurge to last hit. Be careful, though, as it costs a lot of mana. Hiten Style is what you're going to max as soon as possible, as the sustain and true damage will allow you to dominate in lane.

If you're in a fight, don't use Equilibrium Strike until you're either chasing your opponent or have less health than your target. Typically, you'll win fights by letting your opponent blowing their big abilities on you, then stunning them with your E, healing back up with your ultimate all while shredding them with your W.

When Bladesurge is at low rank, don't use it to initiate fights, and instead try to approach your enemy by foot. You're going to want to use it to execute your enemy or at least catch up to them if they start running from you.
