Who Wins
- You win level 2 with Q stun setups and meep empowered trades, but struggle level 6 against Ashe R initiation and Vel'Koz follow-up damage.
- Your mobility becomes less effective once Vel'Koz gains his ultimate for zone control.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q stuns through minions or walls to set up Caitlyn headshot trades, using meeps for additional damage and slow.
- Time your W heals for after Vel'Koz poke combos rather than preemptively, as the heal over time is more valuable post-damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after successful recalls or when the wave is pushing toward your tower around levels 4-6.
- Look for mid lane ganks with Q-flash combos or jungle invades with your jungler using E portals.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q cooldown on single targets when you could hit multiple enemies or get wall stuns.
- Avoid using E portals predictably as Vel'Koz can easily land Q-E combos on your exit point.
