Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior DPS and weapon versatility, especially with Severum healing or Infernum AOE.
- Post-6 remains favorable since your R provides more consistent damage than Ashe's pick potential.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Gravitum Q to set up Lux's Q combo, or Infernum Q for AOE damage when enemies group.
- Calibrum allows safe trading while Severum provides sustain for extended trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow pushes to build weapon stacks and control your weapon rotation timing.
- Freeze when ahead to deny Ashe farm since she can't break freezes safely against your superior trading.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Gravitum root on Maokai when he has W available since he can still engage through it.
- Avoid fighting with poor weapon combinations - respect your power windows based on current weapons.
