Who Wins
- You struggle pre-6 against his consistent DPS and root chains, as your main damage source (passive stars) requires close positioning that he can exploit with E-W combos.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with Q-R burst combos and can threaten lethal damage if you land a full rotation on him.
How to Trade
- Use Q from maximum range to force him to respect your zone control, then look for opportunities to W forward for passive star damage when his abilities are on cooldown.
- Your best trading windows come after he uses E-Q for waveclear, giving you 3-4 seconds to position aggressively with stars.
Wave Control
- Constantly shove waves with E executions to build stacks while denying him farm, then use W to roam and impact other lanes since you can't reliably kill him in lane.
- Prioritize clearing waves quickly over extended trades, as your scaling comes from E stacks rather than solo kills.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't let him bait you into extended fights where his superior sustained damage and kiting potential will win out over your burst patterns.
- Avoid using W aggressively without vision control, as getting caught in his E-W root while overextended often results in death due to his consistent follow-up damage.
