Who Wins

  • Pre-6 you struggle against his poke and shield, losing most trades unless he mispositions.
  • Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R setup, but he still wins pure damage trades if you can't land full combo.

How to Trade

  • Use Q to poke and proc his shield, then look for E-W combo when voidlings are up to maximize damage.
  • Save R for guaranteed kills with jungle help rather than solo trading attempts.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely and maintaining passive shield, using Q to clear waves from distance.
  • Let him push into you where possible to set up ganks with your R lockdown.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to match his early game aggression without voidlings up, and never waste R in trades without kill potential.
  • Avoid extended fights where his sustained damage and shields give him the advantage.
