Who Wins
- Pre-6, you and Sivir win the 2v2 — your level 2 all-in with E into spider form is one of the strongest early spikes in the game, and Nautilus's Q can be baited by Sivir's E.
- Post-6, Nautilus's R changes the dynamic significantly and you must be more careful about overcommitting to trades since the lockdown chain can kill you.
Synergy & Trading
- Your best trading pattern is to open with your E in human form to stun Aphelios or Nautilus, then switch to spider form and use your W to heal while your spiderlings deal damage — this maximizes your burst window during the stun.
- Coordinate with Sivir so she uses her Q during your stun for maximum burst, as the combined damage in that window is very high.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Yes, you should roam — your best roam timings are after a successful level 2 or level 3 all-in that burns summoners or kills, and again at level 6 when your R gives you a reliable engage tool for mid.
- Sivir's W lets her shove the wave quickly before you leave, minimizing the CS loss window and making your roams low-cost.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not waste your E on Nautilus when his W is active — the shield absorbs the stun proc and you lose your primary engage tool for nothing.
- Also avoid overextending in spider form without a clear exit path, as Nautilus's passive root on his auto-attacks will lock you down if you misjudge the trade length.
