Who Wins
- Pre-6 you struggle against Xerath's range advantage and Ashe's consistent trading with Q stacks.
- Post-6 you can win if Lux lands Q, allowing you to use R for guaranteed execution damage.
Synergy & Trading
- Use your range advantage to auto-attack when enemies step up for CS, then follow Lux's Q with W-Q-auto combo.
- Focus on headshot procs from bushes and traps to maximize damage windows.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow pushes to build minion advantages, then crash waves to deny enemy recalls.
- Use your range to freeze when ahead, forcing enemies to overextend for CS.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W traps randomly - save them for Lux Q follow-ups or jungle entrances.
- Avoid using R on full health targets when Xerath can interrupt with his stun.
