Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through Q poke and superior base stats, forcing favorable trades with your passive shield.
- At level 6, you have guaranteed kill pressure with R-W-E-Q combo if he's below 70% health.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q poke when he goes for CS, then if he Q's onto you, immediately W and trade back with E-auto attacks.
- Use your passive shield timing to absorb his burst and win extended trades through armor scaling.
Wave Control
- Focus on safe farming and Q poke until first back, then look to freeze waves near your tower to deny him farm.
- Your mana management is crucial - prioritize Q for CS denial over constant poke.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste R on him when he has Q available to dodge, as missing your ultimate removes all kill pressure for 100+ seconds.
- Avoid trading when your passive is down and his E is active, as he'll out-damage you significantly.
