Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through Q poke and W reflecting his Q tornados back at him, forcing him to respect your range advantage.
- Post-6 becomes more dangerous as his R gives him gap-close potential, but you can still win if you land E root before he engages.
How to Trade
- Poke with Q when he's farming, then use W to reflect his Q back if he tries to trade - this forces him to either eat reflected damage or disengage.
- Stack your passive projectiles between trades to maximize auto attack follow-up damage when he does get close.
Wave Control
- Push waves with Q to keep him under tower and prevent his roaming, but maintain distance from minions to avoid his E-Q combo through the wave.
- Use your range advantage to harass him while he last-hits, forcing him to choose between farm and health.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W defensively against his basic abilities - save it for when he has Q3 tornado ready or is diving you with R.
- Avoid standing near low-health minions where he can E through them to gap-close, as this negates your range advantage.
