Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to range disadvantage and limited sustain against poke heavy champions.
- Post-6 you gain significant all-in potential with R, especially if Nami can land Q to set up your engage.
Synergy & Trading
- Wait for Nami's Q or W bounce to engage, then use E to gap close and maximize your passive healing from shared experience.
- Focus on short trades with Q-auto-E out rather than extended fights until level 6.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Let the wave push to you early to farm safely, then look for slow pushes after first back to create all-in opportunities.
- Freeze near your tower when possible to force enemies into your engagement range.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to trade without Nami's setup as you'll take too much poke damage.
- Avoid using E aggressively without vision of enemy jungler, as you have no escape tools once committed.
