Who Wins
- Pre-6, you have a range advantage with your ball and can poke Vex safely as long as you respect her W passive reset, which punishes you hard if you dash or move aggressively into her; post-6, your R is a positional tool rather than a kill threat, and Vex's R gives her a reliable all-in that outpaces your damage in a straight duel, so you do not win the 1v1 after 6 without significant gold leads.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to place the ball on a minion or at mid-range, Q onto Vex to proc your passive shield and poke, then immediately W for the slow and disengage before her W passive is ready; never commit to extended trades because her W fear and passive doom meter will punish you severely if you stay in melee range.
Wave Control
- You want to push the wave consistently using Q through minions to both poke Vex and shove, forcing her to either take poke or lose CS; a pushed wave denies her roam windows and lets you play safe under her tower, which is critical because she outduels you at close range and you need distance to function.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not use your E aggressively to reposition the ball closer to Vex when her W passive is charged, as this telegraphs your intent and she will immediately W to fear you and punish the overextension; your E should primarily be used defensively or to reposition the ball for a safer Q angle.
