Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to his superior early damage and sustain, but can poke safely with Q from range.
- Post-6 you gain significant advantage through R isolation, removing his ability to use minions for Q healing and forcing pure 1v1 scenarios.
How to Trade
- Focus on Q poke from max range while avoiding his E pull range, then use W field to disengage when he tries to all-in.
- Your best trades come from landing Q-E combo when he's locked in animation, then using W movement speed to kite back.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed early and focus on farming safely under tower with Q.
- Once you have R, you can look for slow pushes to build waves, then use your ultimate to create picks when he overextends.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match his early aggression or fight in extended trades without your W field active.
- Avoid using E predictably as it's your only escape tool when he pulls you, and don't waste R on him when he has flash available to escape the death realm.
