Who Wins

  • You lose most trades pre-6, especially levels 1-3 when his base damages are high relative to your defensive stats.
  • Post-6, you can start winning extended trades if you land W and get multiple Qs off, but he still has kill pressure if you're low on health.

How to Trade

  • Use W to disengage when he jumps on you, then look for short Q trades on minions while his Q is on cooldown.
  • Only commit to extended trades post-6 when you have significant Q stacks and can land your full combo.

Wave Control

  • Accept being pushed in early and focus on last-hitting under tower while stacking Q safely.
  • Once you have Sheen and levels, you can start contesting the wave more actively, especially if he wastes abilities on minions.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't greed for stacks when he has kill pressure - missing CS is better than dying and losing multiple waves.
  • Avoid fighting him when his E is up for extended periods, as the dodge makes your Q unreliable and reduces your damage significantly.
