Who Wins
- You win most pre-6 trades if you can land E or get a good Q reset chain, but struggle against his range advantage.
- Post-6, you heavily favor the all-in if you dodge his E, but his R makes tower dives much riskier.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to set up minion waves for Q resets, then E-Q-W combo when he steps up for CS or stacks.
- Always look to extend trades with passive stacks rather than quick poke exchanges where his range advantage matters more.
Wave Control
- Let him push early so you can set up freezes with minion advantages for Q resets, then look for all-ins when the wave is in a favorable position.
- Avoid pushing into him as it gives him free poke and removes your gap-closing opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your E trying to engage through his minion wave without Q reset setup - you'll be stuck in a bad position with no gap closer.
- Also avoid diving him post-6 without significant health advantage as his R-E combo can turn fights even under tower.
