Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 due to his superior base damage and your lack of sustain against his Q poke.
- At level 6, your R sustain and scaling health make you the stronger champion in extended fights and lane presence.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is landing Q then immediately backing off to avoid his Q-W combo, repeating this until he's low enough for an all-in.
- Once you have R, you can take longer trades since your sustain will outlast his W shield cooldown.
Wave Control
- You should give up early CS to avoid heavy poke, then use Q to last-hit safely while building toward your first back.
- Post-6, you can push waves more aggressively since your R lets you sustain through his poke.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't take extended trades pre-6 without hitting Q first, as his base damages are higher and you lack sustain.
- Avoid fighting in large minion waves early since his Q can hit both you and minions while your Q is single-target.
