Who Wins

  • Pre-6 you struggle against his Q poke and sustain advantage, losing most extended trades unless you can proc passive consistently.
  • Post-6 you dominate through Death Realm isolation, stealing his stats while he has no escape and limited burst to end fights quickly.

How to Trade

  • Use E pull to force trades when he uses abilities on minions, then stack passive with Q and autos before he can disengage with E.
  • Focus on short trades early, but commit fully to extended fights once you have passive proc and W shield available.

Wave Control

  • Let him push early since you can't match his Q waveclear, then look for all-ins when waves bounce back to your side.
  • Focus on farming safely until 6, where Death Realm guarantees favorable fights regardless of wave position.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't chase extended trades pre-6 without passive stacks, as his sustain and E escape make short trades heavily favor him.
  • Avoid using R when he has E available and you're low on health, since he can potentially escape the Death Realm execution range.
