Who Wins

  • You dominate early trades with your Q poke and superior base damages, and can sustain through his retaliation with E.
  • Post-6 you start losing extended all-ins once his R passive ramps up, so you need to transition to shorter trade patterns and avoid letting him stick to you.

How to Trade

  • You want to poke with Q whenever possible and look for short trades where you can land Q-auto-W then back off before he can retaliate meaningfully.
  • Once he has items and levels, focus on using your W to disengage rather than extend fights.

Wave Control

  • You should maintain wave control early by using your Q to poke him off CS while keeping the wave in a neutral position.
  • Avoid hard pushing unless you can recall, as you become vulnerable to his Q-E all-in potential once he gets items.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your W defensively too early in trades, as it's your main tool to disengage once he becomes stronger.
  • Avoid letting him get free R passive stacks on you in extended fights post-6, as his sustained damage will eventually overwhelm your burst pattern.
