Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 to his Q poke and all-in potential, especially levels 2-3 when he gets W-E combo.
- Post-6 you win extended fights with R setup and sustained Q-E damage, but must respect his burst potential when low.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q-E when he goes for CS or after baiting his E, then kiting back with phase rush or W ground control.
- Only take extended trades when you have R available or significant mana advantage for sustained Q spam.
Wave Control
- Focus on safe farming and scaling early, using Q to last hit from range when possible.
- Post-6 look to slow push and poke him down before attempting all-ins, as you need wave control to land R effectively.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste mana on unnecessary Q poke early game as you need it for farming and all-ins.
- Avoid fighting without R post-6 unless he's very low, as his W-E-Q combo can still burst you down before you can out-sustain him.
