Scuttle Contest

  • You lose most scuttle fights at level 3 due to his burst combo and crowd control interrupting your Q stacks.
  • From level 6, you win 1v1s when you can use W to dodge his E-Q combo and force extended trades where your sustain and DPS excel.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • He will likely start opposite side and look for level 3 ganks with E-Q combo, then transition to aggressive invades.
  • Expect him to prioritize early game pressure and ganking over farming efficiency.

Invade or Not

  • You should not invade him early as he wins most direct confrontations pre-6.
  • Your best opportunity is counter-invading when he shows on the opposite side of the map, allowing you to safely take his camps without risk of confrontation.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your W defensively against his basic abilities - save it specifically for his E-Q-R combo to deny his full burst.
  • Avoid fighting him in open areas where he can easily land his combo; instead, use jungle walls and terrain to limit his engage angles.
