Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 due to his superior Q poke range and passive damage in extended fights, while your early damage is insufficient to match his sustain.
- Level 6 remains difficult as his R removes your team utility advantage and his isolated damage output exceeds yours in the death realm.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves using Q1-Q2 for poke while staying mobile, then looking for quick Q3-W-E combos when he wastes abilities on minions.
- Focus on short burst trades rather than extended fights, using your mobility to disengage before his passive fully stacks.
Wave Control
- Maintain neutral or slightly pushed waves to avoid his R engages in bad positions, using Q to farm safely from range while avoiding extended trades.
- Look for opportunities to roam and impact other lanes rather than trying to win the 1v1, as your team utility scales better than his split push.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in extended trades when his passive is stacked, as your damage cannot match his sustained output and healing.
- Avoid using your Q3 engage carelessly, as wasting your escape tool leaves you vulnerable to his E pull and extended punishment.
