Who Wins
- You dominate early trades with Q poke and healing, and your W-Q combo outdamages his short trades.
- Post-6 you still win if you land E before he engages, but his R mobility makes him harder to pin down.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading starts with E to grab his spirit, then W-Q the spirit while zoning him with tentacle placement.
- If he E's forward, immediately W him and prepare Q as he returns to his body.
Wave Control
- Push waves aggressively to establish tentacle control in the lane, using Q to both clear minions and poke.
- Control the area around river and tri-bush with tentacle placement to limit his roaming.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E when his E is available as he can dodge the grab animation with his dash.
- Missing E against Yone removes your primary tool for controlling the engagement timing.
