Who Wins

  • You lose short trades early due to his mobility and burst combo, but your sustain through W and passive aura damage gives you advantages in extended fights.
  • Post-6 you dominate through R isolation, stealing his stats and removing his team-fight scaling potential in the Death Realm.

How to Trade

  • Use E pull to force extended trades, then proc passive marks while using W shield to absorb his burst damage and heal back up.
  • Focus on landing Q isolated damage when possible, but prioritize sticking to him with passive movement speed rather than missing Qs.

Wave Control

  • Let him push early to avoid his Determination stacking, then freeze near your tower to force extended trades in your favor.
  • Use your superior sustain to maintain lane presence while he burns through resources trying to match your trading power.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't chase short trades where he can E dash away after landing his combo, as you lack gap closers to follow up effectively.
  • Avoid fighting him when he has full Determination stacks and revive passive up unless you can guarantee killing him twice in succession.
