Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior range and poke with Q, but must respect his all-in potential if he lands Q1.
- At level 6, you lose the 1v1 as his R gives him massive sustain and damage that your R cannot match in a straight fight.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q poke followed by immediate retreat, using your range advantage to chip him down.
- Only commit to extended trades with W clone + E root when his Q is on cooldown, as you need the guaranteed setup to land your full combo.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to establish range control and force him to farm under tower where he's vulnerable to poke.
- After level 6, maintain slow pushes and look for roam timings rather than trying to freeze, as he becomes too dangerous in extended laning.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never try to trade when his Q is available, as he can gap close and out-sustain your damage with his passive healing.
- Avoid using W clone predictably for trades, as good players will save their abilities and punish the real you when the clone expires.
