Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Nami's sustain and disengage tools countering your poke patterns.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R, but must land Q to enable full combos against their mobility.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E to zone and slow for Varus Q follow-up, then look for Q angles when enemies are locked in animations.
- Coordinate Q-E-R combos with Varus W stacks for maximum burst potential.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when your ADC is safe and you have mana, typically after successful recalls or when enemies back.
- Best timings are mid-game around objectives or when your R is available for guaranteed kills.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on obvious angles or when Nami Q is available, as she can interrupt your combo.
- Avoid using E purely for poke without follow-up potential, as the mana costs will put you behind in lane.
