Who Wins
- You lose early trades if Tahm Kench gets multiple passive stacks, but you can win short trades with good vital positioning.
- Post-6, you win the 1v1 decisively as your R provides healing and true damage that counters his tankiness.
How to Trade
- Focus on quick vital procs then disengage before he can stack his passive, using Q to reposition for better vital angles.
- Save W to riposte his W devour attempt or Q slow, as both are telegraphed and crucial to his trading pattern.
Wave Control
- Let him push early waves so you can farm safely and scale, as you outscale him significantly with items.
- Look for freezes once you have some items, as you can run him down in the long lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't commit to extended trades early game when his passive is partially stacked, as his damage and CC increase dramatically.
- Avoid using Q aggressively when his W is available, as getting devoured puts you in a terrible position.
