Who Wins

  • You lose most direct trades pre-6 due to his W Brittle into E knockup combo dealing significant damage while you lack sustained damage.
  • Post-6 the matchup remains difficult in pure 1v1s, but your R gives you better setup for jungle assistance and teamfight impact.

How to Trade

  • Use Q poke when his W is on cooldown, and set up barrel chains to zone him from engaging while farming safely.
  • When he commits with W-E, immediately use W to cleanse the slow and kite backwards with barrel slows.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely and using barrels to clear waves quickly, avoiding extended trades where his Brittle combos excel.
  • Look for short Q poke trades and use your superior wave clear to create roam timings or back timings.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to out-trade him in extended fights where he can land full W-E-Q combos with Brittle procs.
  • Avoid fighting in areas without barrel setup, as you need the movement speed and damage to have any chance in trades.
