Who Wins
- You dominate early 1v1s through superior base damage, sustain, and rage-empowered abilities that chunk Zaahen before he can stack Determination effectively.
- At level 6, maintain your advantage by using empowered W to interrupt his R combo and burst him during the stun duration.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is building rage on minions, then engaging with E dash, landing empowered W stun, following with empowered Q for damage and healing, then E out.
- Time your trades when Zaahen has low Determination stacks and avoid extended fights when he's fully stacked.
Wave Control
- Push waves aggressively with Q to deny Zaahen farm and force him under tower where he struggles to stack Determination on you.
- Maintain wave priority to roam or back at favorable timings, but ward against ganks since you'll be pushed up.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't underestimate Zaahen's scaling potential and revive passive - avoid diving him when he has max Determination stacks as the revive can turn fights.
- Never waste your empowered abilities on minions when Zaahen is looking to trade, as your non-empowered kit loses to his sustained damage output.
