Who Wins

  • You lose early trades levels 1-3 due to Vex's superior poke and wave clear with Q and passive.
  • At level 6, you gain kill pressure with your ultimate but Vex's Fear can still shut down your all-ins if she times it correctly.

How to Trade

  • You should look for short trades using Q to proc passive, then immediately back off to avoid extended trades.
  • Wait for Vex to waste her Fear on minions or miss her abilities before committing to longer engagements.

Wave Control

  • You want to freeze the wave near your tower early to avoid Vex's poke and set up ganks.
  • Push hard only when Vex recalls or roams to prevent her from matching your map movements.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • You must avoid using your E aggressively when Vex has Fear available, as she can interrupt your dash and leave you vulnerable.
  • Don't chase through minion waves where her Q bounce damage and passive proc can chunk you significantly.
