Who Wins

  • You lose most pre-6 trades due to his superior range and E-Q poke, but can punish him if he wastes abilities on minions.
  • Post-6 you have kill pressure with R engage, but must respect his E-W root which can interrupt your combo and leave you vulnerable.

How to Trade

  • Look for Q dash trades when he uses E on minions for waveclear, then immediately disengage before he can respond with full combo.
  • Your best all-in window is R engage when he's low on mana or has E on cooldown.

Wave Control

  • Let him push early and farm safely under tower, as you can't match his waveclear without taking heavy poke.
  • Focus on roaming post-6 with R to impact other lanes, as he struggles to follow your mobility.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't engage without your pack up, as you lose significant damage and utility without them.
  • Avoid trading when he has both E and W available, as the root duration gives him free damage and escape time.
