Who Wins

  • You win early trades with Q-auto-E combos and can kite effectively, but post-6 you lose isolated fights in his R since you can't maintain distance.
  • Focus on short burst trades and use your mobility advantage before he gets his ultimate online.

How to Trade

  • Use Q through minions to poke and clear simultaneously, then auto-E away when he tries to engage with E or walk up for passive stacks.
  • Save E defensively against his E pull rather than using it aggressively, as getting caught means eating his full combo.

Wave Control

  • Keep waves pushed and roam for plays since you clear faster and have better map mobility with E.
  • Avoid letting him freeze near his tower where he can run you down in the long lane with passive and W sustain.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't get pulled by his E when you're low on E cooldown, as you'll be forced into an extended trade you can't win.
  • Avoid fighting him post-6 without jungle help or a significant health advantage, as his R guarantees a 1v1 scenario where he stat-checks you.
