Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 due to his superior base stats and Q harass, but you gain kill pressure at 6 with R mobility and sustain.
- Your early game requires careful positioning and CS focus rather than aggressive trading until you have your ultimate.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern revolves around landing Q1 to gap close, then chaining Q2-Q3 while weaving autos and E for positioning.
- Always save E for either engaging after Q1 hit or escaping his W, as getting devoured without mobility spells death.
Wave Control
- Focus on last-hitting and avoiding his Q poke early, then look to slow push and crash waves for recalls once you have R.
- You want longer lanes post-6 where you can run him down with your ultimate's mobility and sustain.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste E aggressively without R available, as you become completely immobile against his W engage.
- Avoid extended trades without your passive healing stacked, as his base damage and sustain from Q will out-trade your raw abilities.
