Who Wins
- You win most early trades through Q poke and W threat, maintaining advantage until level 6 where extended fights become dangerous.
- Post-6 you need to be more careful as his R engage can catch you even with your R escape, especially if he lands Q3 knockup first.
How to Trade
- Use Q to poke and clear waves while staying at max range, then look for W setups when he goes for CS or uses E aggressively.
- Your best trades involve landing W stun followed by Q-E-passive proc, but disengage immediately after since he can turn fights with sustained damage.
Wave Control
- Control the wave with Q to maintain safe distance and prevent him from building large minion waves for all-ins.
- Keep the wave in the center or slightly pushed to deny him easy E engages while maintaining your escape routes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W defensively unless you're certain he's committing to an all-in since the cooldown leaves you vulnerable to his next engage window.
- Avoid fighting when your R is down post-6 as you have no answer to his R engage and will likely die in extended trades.
