Who Wins
- You struggle early due to his gap-close and burst potential, but your sustain keeps you in lane.
- Post-6 your R transforms the matchup as you become nearly unkillable while he lacks the sustained damage to break through your healing.
How to Trade
- Use Q poke to whittle him down while staying at max range, then W away if he engages with E-Q combo.
- Focus on short trades and let your passive regeneration work between exchanges rather than committing to extended fights.
Wave Control
- Farm safely with Q and let the wave push to you early, using your sustain advantage to outlast his aggression.
- Once you have items and levels, you can start contesting CS more aggressively.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match his early aggression without your R available, as his dismount mechanic gives him effective double health bars.
- Avoid face-tanking his W procs when you're low on health since the execute potential is significant.
