Who Wins

  • You lose most pre-6 trades due to lack of sustain and his superior extended trading with Q healing and Determination stacking.
  • Post-6 you gain some outplay potential with R mobility, but he still wins straight fights due to his R burst and revive passive.

How to Trade

  • Focus on short trades using Q to dodge his abilities and deal damage, then immediately back off before he can stack Determination.
  • Use your superior mobility to control engagement timing rather than committing to extended fights.

Wave Control

  • Farm safely and focus on scaling, using Q to last-hit minions from range when possible to avoid his trading patterns.
  • Look to freeze waves near your tower where his aggressive playstyle becomes riskier and you can farm more safely.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't commit to extended trades where he can stack Determination and use his sustain advantage against you.
  • Avoid fighting when he has his revive passive ready, as the 4-second stasis gives him a massive advantage in any all-in scenario.
