Who Wins

  • Pre-6: You dominate through range advantage and consistent poke damage that Zaahen cannot effectively answer.
  • Post-6: Zaahen gains significant all-in threat with R, but your burst combo can still win if you land Q stun and maintain proper spacing.

How to Trade

  • Use W-E poke when Zaahen goes for CS, then back away before he can engage with W pull or E dash.
  • If he commits to an all-in, land Q stun immediately and kite backwards while your passive burns him down.

Wave Control

  • Push waves early to establish lane priority and poke Zaahen under tower where he struggles to farm safely.
  • Maintain vision control to avoid ganks since you'll be naturally pushed up most of the laning phase.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste Q stun on minions when Zaahen has W available, as this gives him a free engage window.
  • Never face-tank his extended trades even if ahead - your advantage comes from range and burst, not sustained fighting.
