Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win trades after level 3 with Q-passive-W combo, especially if Alistar lands his engage first.
- Post-6: You become much stronger with R's execution potential and can easily assassinate Ahri if she mispositions.
Synergy & Trading
- Wait for Alistar to engage with W-Q, then immediately follow up with Q-passive auto and use W if they try to retaliate.
- Save E for gap closing on low targets or escaping after trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push aggressively early to hit your power spikes first, then look to roam mid or jungle after successful trades.
- Control vision around river to enable safe roams and prevent enemy rotations.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W defensively against poke, save it for all-ins or escaping after trades.
- Never engage Aatrox in extended fights without your full combo available, as his sustain will outlast your burst.
