Who Wins

  • You win early trades levels 1-3 with Q poke and E true damage, but Tahm Kench becomes increasingly difficult to kill post-6.
  • His R gives him massive health scaling and your damage falls off relative to his tankiness, making extended fights favor him heavily.

How to Trade

  • Look for short trades using Q to slow him, then E for true damage and walk away before he can stack his passive.
  • Avoid extended fights where he can proc his passive stun and out-sustain you with his massive health pool and E shield.

Wave Control

  • Push early waves to build a CS lead before he becomes too tanky to pressure.
  • After level 6, focus on roaming with R rather than trying to kill him, as he becomes nearly impossible to solo kill.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't commit to all-ins post-6 without jungle help, as his health scaling makes him extremely difficult to burst down.
  • Avoid fighting him when he has his E shield available, as it negates much of your damage output.
