Who Wins

  • You dominate pre-6 with superior burst damage, energy sustain, and shroud safety while his Q shield barely mitigates your combo damage.
  • Post-6 becomes skill-dependent as his R mobility can dodge your E and escape shroud, but you maintain kill pressure if you land abilities.

How to Trade

  • Your best pattern is Q-passive auto-Q-E combo when he steps up, using shroud to avoid retaliation and energy to sustain through his poke.
  • Focus on short bursts rather than extended trades to maximize your energy efficiency and passive healing.

Wave Control

  • Push early levels to establish priority and look for roam opportunities, as you scale better with kills than he does with farm.
  • Control the wave to set up dives or force him under tower where you can harass with Q poke.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste shroud defensively against his Q poke alone, save it for when he commits with R post-6 or for tower dives.
  • Avoid letting him scale freely to late game where his teamfight impact and safety become overwhelming.
