Who Wins

  • Your net can escape Pyke hooks while your traps punish their engages.

Synergy & Trading

  • Auto-attack Ashe when she goes for CS while staying behind minions to avoid Pyke hooks, then place traps defensively when they try to engage.
  • Your best trades are headshot combos when Bard lands Q stuns, allowing you to proc headshot with net or trap follow-up.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Push waves early to establish minion advantage and make Pyke hooks harder to land through the wave.
  • After level 6, maintain slow pushes to build up minion waves that protect you from all-ins while giving you CS leads.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't use your net aggressively for trades as it's your only escape from Pyke's hook combos.
  • Avoid auto-attacking when Pyke is in hook range without minion protection, as his engage potential is much higher than your escape options early game.
