Who Wins

  • You struggle pre-6 due to lack of reliable engage tools and Tahm's superior sustain, losing most extended trades despite your W damage.
  • Post-6 your R provides better teamfight setup, but you still lose 1v1s unless you land perfect combos while Tahm misplays.

How to Trade

  • Wait for Tahm to use Q on minions, then immediately W-E combo to proc Brittle before he can respond with his own abilities.
  • Your trading windows are narrow, so commit fully to short bursts rather than extended trades where his sustain dominates.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely and using Q to last-hit from range while avoiding extended trades.
  • Look to freeze the wave near your tower where Tahm becomes more vulnerable to ganks and you can use terrain for better E angles.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your W-E combo on minions when Tahm is in range to punish, as this leaves you completely vulnerable to his Q-W-auto trading pattern.
  • Avoid fighting in open areas where your R is easily dodged and you can't use terrain for E knockups.
