Who Wins
- You win short trades pre-6 with Q poke and W to disengage, but lose extended fights once he builds fury and gets E.
- Post-6 you can burst him but struggle in extended duels once his R is active, so you need to play around your energy and cooldowns carefully.
How to Trade
- You want to Q poke when he goes for CS, then use W to avoid retaliation and wait for energy to regenerate.
- Look for quick E1-Q-auto-E2 combos when he's low on fury, but always have an escape plan.
Wave Control
- You should maintain wave control by last-hitting and using Q to harass simultaneously, keeping the wave in the middle or slightly pushing.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can roam, as he can freeze and run you down in long lanes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot stay in extended trades once his fury builds up, especially post-6 when his R makes him nearly unkillable.
- Don't waste your W defensively too early - save it for when he commits with E or when you need to avoid his damage during his R duration.
