Who Wins
- You win early trades with Q stack management and W immunity negating his engage attempts, plus your E mobility lets you kite his melee range.
- At level 6, be cautious of his W pull into full combo burst, but your R healing and damage can match his all-in if you position properly in your mist.
How to Trade
- Use W defensively when he engages with W pull or E dash, then kite with E while stacking Q on him for maximum true damage.
- Look for extended trades when your Q is stacked and passive is ready to heal, as your sustained damage outscales his burst windows.
Wave Control
- Let him push early if he's stacking Determination on minions, then freeze and zone him from farm with Q poke and W safety.
- Once you have items, use superior Q waveclear to build slow pushes and look for roam timings or recall advantages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W mist on his poke - save it for when he commits with W pull or all-in attempts.
- Avoid fighting in minion waves where his E can hit multiple targets for extra damage, and respect his revive passive in extended skirmishes.
