Who Wins
- You're weaker levels 1-3 due to his Q poke and E engage, but you need to survive without falling too far behind.
- At level 6, your R sustain and increased damage from E passive gives you the 1v1 advantage in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is landing Q poke while farming safely, then when he engages with E, activate W and E to maximize damage during the taunt duration.
- Post-6, look for extended trades where your R regeneration outvalues his burst.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and using Q to last-hit while poking - don't hard push early as you're vulnerable to ganks and his superior early game.
- After level 6 and first item, you can start looking for longer trades and split push opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't miss Q poke opportunities as it's your main trading tool early, but avoid face-checking bushes where he can surprise E-taunt you.
- Never underestimate his early game damage - respect his Q-auto-W-E combo until you have R and items.
