Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior wave clear and passive star damage when TF steps up for CS, as his Q poke is predictable and you can position to avoid it while maintaining pressure.
- Post-6 you lose all-ins if TF lands gold card since you have no mobility to escape his burst combo, but you maintain map pressure advantage with W roams.
How to Trade
- Look to trade when TF uses Q on minions by walking forward with passive stars active, then immediately back off before he can retaliate with auto-attacks.
- Use E to clear waves quickly and deny him extended trading windows, forcing short exchanges where your passive damage accumulates.
Wave Control
- Hard shove every wave with E to deny TF CS and roaming opportunities, using your superior wave clear to create priority.
- After shoving, use W to roam to side lanes before TF can match, forcing him to choose between following or losing farm.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't stay in lane with low HP against TF's R availability, as his global presence combined with jungle ganks becomes lethal when you're vulnerable.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or river when TF is missing, since his gold card setup makes any ambush potentially fatal.
