Who Wins
- You win early trades through levels 1-3 with Q empowered autos and W shield, but Zaahen scales harder into the all-in once he builds Determination stacks.
- Post-6 you have kill pressure with R into wall stuns using E, but his revive passive makes solo kills risky without significant health advantages.
How to Trade
- Look for short trades using Q empowered autos then W slam to disengage, avoiding extended fights where he stacks Determination.
- Your best all-in pattern is E into wall stun followed by full Q combo and R to suppress him away from minions for maximum passive damage.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to establish level advantages and roam with your superior mobility through E wall traversal.
- Avoid slow pushing into him as extended trades favor his stacking mechanics and sustain from Q healing.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't commit to extended trades without a clear health advantage, as his Determination stacking and Q healing make him stronger in prolonged fights.
- Avoid using E aggressively without vision of enemy jungler, as you'll be overextended with no escape if the wall stun fails.
