Who Wins
- You lose level 2 due to energy constraints and Akshan's range advantage, but can trade evenly if you land Q on multiple targets.
- Level 6 heavily favors you with R gap-closing potential and W shroud safety against both champions' burst.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to farm and poke, then W for safety when they try to trade back, as your energy management is crucial early.
- Save E for escaping Shaco's backstab attempts or engaging when Akshan mispositions during his E swing.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Allow them to push early levels to farm safely near tower, as your energy costs make wave control difficult.
- Once you hit level 6, you can start matching their roam timers with your R mobility.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W shroud defensively against poke, as you need it for all-in protection when Shaco uses Q to engage.
- Throwing E without guaranteed follow-up leaves you vulnerable to extended trades you cannot sustain.
