Scuttle Contest

  • You lose most scuttle fights at level 3 unless you land a perfect E-Q combo first, as his sustained damage and knockup disrupts your burst pattern.
  • From level 6, you only win 1v1s when you can land E-Q into R combo while he doesn't have his E available to gap close.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • He will likely start the same side as you and contest scuttle early, or invade your jungle after level 3 since he wins most early duels.
  • Expect him to path aggressively toward river fights and look for early skirmishes with his laners.

Invade or Not

  • Avoid invading unless you have significant laner priority, as you lose most 1v1 scenarios against him in the early game.
  • Your best opportunity is stealing his camps after successful ganks when you know his location on the opposite side of the map.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to out-duel him in extended fights without your full combo available, as his Q resets and W sustain will outlast your burst.
  • Avoid using your E-Q combo for mobility when he's nearby, as you'll have no escape tools if he engages with his E.
