Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior all-in potential and early game damage, especially at level 1-2 where your Q outsustains his poke.
- Post-6 becomes skill-dependent as his R isolates you, but you can still win if you enter with 5 stacks or dodge his abilities in the death realm.
How to Trade
- Look for short trades with W auto-reset when he uses Q, then immediately back off to avoid his W pull combo.
- Your optimal pattern is to bait his Q, sidestep it, then engage with E pull into W-auto-Q for maximum stack building.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to establish dominance, then maintain a slow push to build large waves before backing.
- You want to avoid long freezes since he can poke you down with Q, but control the wave to set up all-ins when your jungler arrives.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight him in his W field without your E available to escape or gap close.
- Don't waste your Q on minions when he's looking to trade, as you need it for both damage and healing in extended fights.
