Who Wins

  • You lose most pre-6 all-ins due to Warwick's sustain and W attack speed, but can win short trades with Q-passive-E combos if you disengage quickly.
  • Post-6 you have outplay potential with R mobility and W invisibility, but Warwick's R suppression can still catch you if mispositioned.

How to Trade

  • Use Q to poke and proc passive, then immediately back off with W or E to avoid extended trades where his sustain kicks in.
  • Save your W shroud for when he commits with W movement speed or R, as the invisibility and movement speed let you reposition for favorable trades.

Wave Control

  • Keep waves in the middle or slightly pushed to maintain escape routes, as freezing near his tower gives him too much kill pressure with R.
  • Use your superior wave clear with Q to maintain priority and roam for picks once you hit level 6.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste W shroud for minor trades as it's your only escape tool against his R engage and W chase potential.
  • Avoid fighting when low on energy as you need full rotations to outdamage his sustain and won't have escape tools available.
