Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Orianna's superior range and poke, but can win trades if you successfully land E and stack passive.
- Post-6 you win the 1v1 decisively with R setup into full combo, as your damage reduction and mobility overwhelm her defensive options.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to land E, then Q to marked target while weaving autos to stack passive before committing further.
- Only extend trades when you have 3+ passive stacks, otherwise disengage immediately to avoid eating free poke.
Wave Control
- Let Orianna push early and focus on farming safely with Q resets on low minions.
- Once you have items and levels, look to freeze the wave on your side to create all-in opportunities when she steps up.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never Q onto Orianna without landing E first, as you'll be kited and chunked without gap close potential.
- Avoid fighting in open areas where she can easily reposition her ball - instead look for trades near walls or in jungle skirmishes.
