Who Wins
- You struggle pre-6 due to limited trading tools and his superior mobility, but you can survive through passive sustain and minion farming.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R execute, especially when he's low after aggressive trades, though his revive passive provides safety.
How to Trade
- Focus on landing Q knockup to enable your full combo, then follow with W silence and E auto-attacks before he can dash away.
- Keep trades short and disengage when he tries to extend them, as his Determination stacking and Q healing favor longer engagements.
Wave Control
- Use W to clear waves efficiently and maintain farm parity while avoiding extended trades.
- Focus on scaling through minion kills and occasional champion trades rather than fighting for lane control, as your late-game scaling is more reliable.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase extended trades when he has Determination stacks built up, as his scaling AD and Q healing make him increasingly dangerous.
- Avoid using abilities on minions when he's looking to trade, as you need Q available to interrupt his engage attempts.
