Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to range disadvantage and his sustain negating your poke damage.
- Post-6 you can threaten kills with R flanks from fog of war, but only if you avoid his Q interrupt and have proper vision control.
How to Trade
- Use W bounces through minions to poke while staying at max range, then E-Q when he engages to fear and disengage.
- Never commit to extended auto-attack trades as his base stats and sustain heavily favor him in melee combat.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and clearing waves quickly with W to enable roaming opportunities.
- Look for R flanks on other lanes rather than trying to win the 1v1, as your kit excels in teamfights not laning.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use R predictably from the same brush positions as good Tahm players will interrupt with Q or simply walk away.
- Avoid trading when your fear is on cooldown, as you have no escape tools if he commits with Q-W combo.
