Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to weaker base stats and no sustain against his Q healing, especially levels 1-3 where your kit lacks meaningful combat power.
- Post-6 you gain significant advantage through R mobility to engage favorably or disengage when he gets 5 stacks.
How to Trade
- Focus on short trades using Q-auto-E combo then immediately backing off before he can land E pull or build passive stacks.
- Use your W movement speed to kite around his Q range and only commit to extended trades when he's low or has abilities on cooldown.
Wave Control
- Accept CS deficits early and focus on safe farming under tower, using E to last-hit from range when necessary.
- After 6, look for opportunities to shove and roam with your R mobility advantage, as you outscale him in teamfights.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match his early aggression or fight in extended trades without your R available for escape.
- Avoid face-tanking his Q outer ring damage and never let him get free 5-stack passive procs by respecting his E range.
