How to Trade

  • Poke with Q-E combos when Zaahen goes for CS, then immediately back away to avoid retaliation.
  • If he engages with E dash, immediately switch to hammer form and E him away, then kite with ranged form while your cooldowns reset.

Wave Control

  • Push the wave early to establish lane priority and poke Zaahen under tower where he can't retaliate effectively.
  • Maintain good ward coverage since you'll be pushed up, and look to roam when you have wave advantage.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't let Zaahen get free Determination stacks by trading inefficiently or staying in melee range too long.
  • Avoid using your hammer form E defensively if his R is available, as you'll have no escape from his all-in combo.
