Who Wins
- You win early 1v1s through superior base damages and Q healing, especially if you land outer Q consistently.
- At level 6, you maintain advantage since your R executes while his R just adds damage, though his revive passive makes dives risky.
How to Trade
- Use Q when he goes for CS to poke and heal, then look for extended trades when he's low or uses abilities on minions.
- If he W pulls you, immediately W him back and commit to the all-in since you win sustained fights without his escape tools.
Wave Control
- Maintain slow pushes to build minion advantages for trades, but avoid hard shoving since he can E away from ganks easily.
- Keep waves in the middle or slightly pushed to deny his freeze attempts while maintaining trade opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q when he has E available as he'll dash away and negate your heal advantage.
- Avoid chasing with ghost when he has R available since his revive passive can turn failed dives into double kills for him.
