Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win comfortably by maintaining range, stacking W voidlings on him, and using E to interrupt his Q charges whenever he tries to engage; post-6 your R suppression makes this a near-unlosable 1v1 as long as he lacks Cleanse or QSS, since his R cannot save him once suppressed.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to let W voidlings chip him down passively, use E to silence him the moment he begins charging Q, and never let him get close enough to land a point-blank Q — keep him at max E range and let sustained damage do the work.
Wave Control
- Shove the wave consistently with W to deny him the ability to freeze or slow-push into you, and use the wave pressure to force him under tower where his Q charges become even harder to land safely; a pushed wave also lets you roam or set up jungle dives with your R.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not waste your R on him when he has Cleanse or QSS, as it completely negates your kill condition — instead, continue poking with W and E until he burns those summoners or items on a different threat, then commit to the all-in.
