Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 to his Q poke and E block, but become significantly stronger at level 6.
- Your R execute combined with Q-E combo can kill him from surprisingly high HP thresholds.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q to gap close and silence, then E while he's silenced to prevent his E block.
- Only commit to extended trades when your W is available to reduce his burst damage.
Wave Control
- Focus on last-hitting and using Q to break any freeze attempts he makes.
- You can afford to give up some early CS since your passive allows you to sustain through his poke better than most champions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase extended trades early game when your passive is down, as his Q poke and E block give him too much advantage.
- Avoid using W preemptively since timing it for his W-E-Q combo is crucial for surviving his burst.
