Who Wins
- You win most trades pre-6 through Q vital procs and W riposte to block his engage tools.
- Post-6 becomes more dangerous due to his R engage potential, but you still win extended duels if you land W stun and proc vitals efficiently.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q to proc vitals when he goes for CS, then W to block his Q3 or E engage and look for the stun.
- Follow up with more Q vital procs while his abilities are on cooldown.
Wave Control
- Maintain slow pushes to create long lanes for extended trades where you excel, and freeze when ahead to deny him farm.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can immediately recall, as it gives him roam opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W on his regular Q pokes - save it for his Q3 knockup or E engage when he commits to trades.
- Never let him get free poke with Q while your vitals are in bad positions.
