Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 due to Azir's superior range and consistent poke damage, but you win decisively at level 6 with your ultimate's gap-closing power.
- Focus on surviving the early levels rather than trying to trade.
How to Trade
- You should look for short Q trades when Azir uses abilities on minions, then immediately retreat to avoid his soldier auto-attacks.
- Save your E for engaging when he's overextended or dodging his shuffle combo.
Wave Control
- You want to let Azir push into you early so you can farm safely near your tower and set up ganks.
- Once you hit level 6, you can look for aggressive plays and roaming opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to take too much poke damage early as it prevents your all-in potential at level 6.
- Don't waste your shroud defensively unless absolutely necessary, as you need it for diving or escaping after trades.
