Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to range disadvantage and slower wave clear, but can survive through safe farming and Q poke when Aurelion Sol steps up.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R setup for ganks, though pure 1v1s remain difficult without jungle assistance.
How to Trade
- Use Q to silence him when he steps forward for passive star damage, then follow up with E and voidlings while he cannot use abilities to disengage.
- Focus on short trades where your silence prevents his escape tools rather than extended fights where his sustained damage wins.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed early and focus on safe farming under tower while looking for jungle coordination once you hit 6.
- Use Q to clear waves when possible and avoid letting him roam freely by spam-pinging missing calls to your team.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match his roaming without proper vision and backup, as he can easily catch and kill you in river with his mobility advantage.
- Avoid walking too close to minions when he has E stacks, as his enhanced range and execution damage make trades heavily favor him.
