Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win through superior poke range and Q-E combo while Thresh provides engage threat.
- Post-6: You maintain advantage with R execute potential and better teamfight setup, though Jinx rockets become more threatening.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q through minions to catch Bard or Jinx, then immediately E-auto for thunderlord proc while Thresh follows up.
- Focus on consistent E poke when Q is down, forcing them to choose between farming and health.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain aggressive positioning to zone with Q threat while using E to clear waves and poke simultaneously.
- Control bushes with E to deny Bard roam timings and keep vision for Thresh engages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when enemies are in range, as it's your only self-peel against Bard Q or Thresh engage.
- Avoid using E purely for wave clear when enemies can capitalize on the cooldown for aggressive trades.
