Who Wins
- You struggle in short trades early game against his W burst and mobility, but win extended fights and dominate post-6 with R tentacle slams.
- His remount mechanic means you need to respect his sustain potential, but your superior sustain and AOE gives you the edge in longer engagements.
How to Trade
- Focus on landing E to create vessel pressure, then use Q and tentacle slams to zone him from CS rather than committing to extended trades.
- When he engages with E-Q, immediately R if multiple enemies/tentacles are present, as the healing and damage will turn the fight in your favor.
Wave Control
- Set up tentacles around key areas and use Q to waveclear while poking, forcing him to fight in tentacle zones or lose CS.
- Slow push to build tentacle walls, then crash waves to reset tentacle positions and maintain map pressure through superior sustain.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase him when he's dismounted unless you have tentacles set up, as his mobility and Courage building can lead to surprise remounts that turn fights.
- Avoid fighting in open areas without tentacles, as his mobility advantage becomes too significant without your zone control.
