Who Wins
- Pre-6 you dominate with Q poke and superior range, forcing him to use mana on waveclear instead of trading.
- Post-6 you lose if he lands R on you, but can win by maintaining distance and using E to interrupt his engage attempts.
How to Trade
- Poke with Q whenever he steps up to CS, then use Q-E combo when he's low enough for kill pressure.
- Space aggressively to deny his farm while staying outside his E range, using your superior range advantage.
Wave Control
- Let him push with E-W, then freeze the wave near your tower to deny him farm and expose him to ganks.
- Use Q to last-hit and maintain the freeze while poking him when he tries to break it.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never let him get close enough to R you without having E ready to self-peel or flash available.
- Don't waste E defensively unless he's actually engaging, as you need it to interrupt his R channel or escape ganks.
