Who Wins
- You lose most early trades due to Rumble's range advantage and your lack of gap closers to punish his poke.
- Post-6 you can win if you land E and force him to fight in your tentacle zones, but he can still kite you effectively.
How to Trade
- Focus on landing E to force trades, then use W to proc the spirit while threatening him with tentacle slams.
- Only commit to extended trades when you have tentacle setup and he's forced to fight in your zone.
Wave Control
- Let him push early and farm safely under tower, using Q to clear waves and sustain with passive.
- Once you have items and levels, you can start contesting waves more aggressively with proper tentacle placement.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase him into open areas without tentacles, as he'll kite you endlessly while dealing consistent damage.
- Avoid trading when your tentacles are down or poorly positioned, as you lose most of your damage and sustain potential.
