Who Wins
- You win level 2 fights with R+Q burst and sustain advantage, but you lose level 6 due to Bard's R engage and Caitlyn's superior scaling.
- Focus on creating early leads through aggressive trading and roam setups.
Synergy & Trading
- Use R+Q for poke damage while Draven maintains axes, then follow up with E shields during his all-ins for maximum damage output.
- Your W tether combined with Draven's damage creates kill pressure that forces enemies to respect your engage range.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Yes, roam frequently since your R+Q waveclear is excellent and Draven can handle 1v2 situations with proper positioning.
- Optimal timings are after landing significant poke, when you have R available, or when mid lane is gankable.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your R on W or E in lane unless securing kills, as your R+Q is your primary trading and waveclear tool.
- Avoid extended fights where Bard can land multiple Q stuns, as your cooldowns are longer than his utility rotation.
