Who Wins
- You can win short trades pre-6 by using isolated Q when he steps away from minions, but avoid extended fights as his passive will outdamage you.
- Post-6 you lose hard since his R traps you in melee range where you can't utilize your mobility or isolation damage effectively.
How to Trade
- Look for quick E-W-Q combos when he's isolated from minions, then immediately back off before he can proc passive or land E-pull.
- Use your stealth from R evolution to reposition and avoid his skillshots while looking for another isolated Q opportunity.
Wave Control
- Try to freeze the wave near your tower to create isolation zones for your Q, but be ready to give up CS if he threatens all-ins.
- Focus on roaming to other lanes or jungle once you get R evolution, as the 1v1 becomes increasingly unwinnable.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't stay in melee range after your initial combo as his passive proc will outdamage you significantly.
- Never fight him post-6 in open areas where he can easily land R, and avoid trading when your E is on cooldown since it's your only escape tool.
