Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through Q poke and E block advantage, as Zaahen needs stacks to trade effectively.
- At level 6, Zaahen becomes dangerous with R engage potential, but you maintain kill pressure with your own R if you've established an early lead.
How to Trade
- Trade with Q poke when Zaahen has low Determination stacks, then all-in with W-E-Q when he's chunked.
- Avoid extended trades when he has high stacks, as his doubled AD bonus and potential revive make longer fights heavily favor him.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to deny Zaahen farm and stack opportunities, using Q to harass while maintaining wave control.
- After level 6, maintain vision and be ready to match his R roams, as his teamfight scaling becomes problematic if left unchecked.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't commit to all-ins when Zaahen has max Determination stacks and full health, as his revive passive makes the trade heavily unfavorable.
- Avoid getting pulled by his W into extended trades, especially near his minion wave where he can stack Determination easily.
