Who Wins
- You win most pre-6 trades due to your Q poke and E gap-closer, but Vex can match your damage with Q + passive proc if she lands it consistently.
- Post-6 you have a significant advantage since your R allows you to dive her even under tower while her R requires setup and positioning.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q poke into E engage when Vex uses abilities on minions, then auto-attack with your pack for maximum damage before backing out.
- Avoid extended trades when her passive is up since she can fear you and turn the fight around.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to get priority and roam opportunities, but be careful not to overextend since Vex has good gank setup with her fear.
- After level 6, look to freeze near your tower to create all-in opportunities with your R.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage when Vex has her passive fear available, as getting feared during your E or R engage will leave you vulnerable to her full combo and jungle ganks.
- Avoid using your E aggressively when her jungler is nearby since you'll have no escape tool.
