Who Wins
- You can poke effectively pre-6 with Q spam, but lose all-ins once he lands W or gets on top of you.
- Post-6 becomes much harder as his R negates your poke advantage and he can run you down.
How to Trade
- Focus on Q poke from max range while maintaining distance, using minions as shields when possible.
- If he engages with W, immediately use your movement to try escaping the pull zone rather than trading back.
Wave Control
- Try to freeze waves near your tower where you can farm safely with Q while making his engages more dangerous.
- Avoid pushing unless you can recall immediately, as you're extremely vulnerable to ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to trade auto attacks or stand in melee range for extended periods.
- Never underestimate his healing potential from E passive, especially when he has multiple targets to hit with Q.
