Who Wins
- You struggle pre-6 due to his superior sustain and ability to interrupt your farming with E pulls, making it difficult to stack your E safely.
- Post-6 the matchup remains challenging as his R sustain and damage output in extended fights exceeds your burst potential.
How to Trade
- Use your range advantage to poke with Q from maximum distance while keeping passive stars active, then immediately back away to avoid his E+W retaliation.
- Look for opportunities to W away after landing Q stuns to avoid extended trades where his sustain advantage becomes apparent.
Wave Control
- Focus on shoving waves quickly with E to execute minions for stacks, then use W to roam and impact other lanes since direct laning is unfavorable.
- Prioritize getting E stacks from jungle camps when possible to scale your damage and range safely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to out-sustain him in extended trades as his passive healing and R will always favor longer engagements.
- Avoid getting pulled by his E when you're positioned aggressively for E stacks, as this puts you in range for his full combo rotation.
