Who Wins

  • You lose levels 1-3 due to Vex's superior range and poke with Q, making it difficult to trade favorably without taking significant damage.
  • At level 6, you gain a significant advantage as your R allows you to steal her R for massive engage potential and burst damage.

How to Trade

  • Your best trading pattern is to use E1 to gap close, then immediately E2-W-Q combo for maximum burst before disengaging.
  • Wait for Vex to use her Q on minions or miss it on you before committing to trades, as her cooldowns are your window.

Wave Control

  • Focus on shoving waves quickly with Q to roam and impact other lanes, as you cannot effectively freeze against her range advantage.
  • Use your superior waveclear post-6 to create roam timers and avoid extended laning phases where she can poke you down.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never use your E aggressively when Vex has her passive Fear up, as you'll be feared mid-dash and take massive damage.
  • Don't try to all-in her at low health without accounting for her W shield, which can absorb significant burst and turn fights around.
