Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Azir's superior range and poke potential with Q-auto combos.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure if you can land E-W-R combo, but Azir still maintains range advantage and can disengage with E.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is E-W-Q when Azir steps up for CS or uses soldiers aggressively.
- Wait for him to overextend or waste E dash before committing to extended trades with R.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to prevent Azir from establishing soldier zones and roam when possible.
- After 6, maintain slow pushes to create opportunities for all-ins when your wave crashes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E on soldiers or try to trade when Azir has multiple soldiers positioned defensively.
- Avoid fighting in open areas where he can kite you effectively with his range advantage.
