He has the most HP among the mages, innate sustain, the highest number of untargetability seconds in the game. His damage is over time unlike most APs who use a burst, so making use of kiting and his transfusion are paramount to winning a 1v1.

That being said his strenght aren't in duels, but in laning and team synergy. In lane he is the warwick of AP casters, harassing you out of your lane and taking a gold advantage, and in teamfights the 12% damage increase is just imba.
