Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 due to his sustained Q damage and E shield negating your short trade attempts.
  • Post-6 you can win if you dodge his R with your mobility, but his sustained damage still favors longer fights even with your full combo.

How to Trade

  • Use Q1-Q2 to gap close, then W-auto-Q3 for quick trades before disengaging with E.
  • Only commit to extended trades when his Q is on cooldown or he's overheated, as your burst combo can chunk him significantly during these windows.

Wave Control

  • Freeze near your tower to force him to overextend for CS, making him vulnerable to jungle ganks.
  • Avoid pushing into him as his Q waveclear is superior and he can poke you freely under his tower.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't engage when he has full heat and all abilities up, as his sustained damage will outduel your combo.
  • Never use all Q charges to engage without confirming the kill, as you'll be stuck in melee range with no escape from his damage over time.
