How to Trade

  • Focus on short trades using Q to stack passive, then W for damage and disengage before he can respond with his full combo.
  • Once you have passive stacks, you can look for extended trades where your sustain and tankiness shine.

Wave Control

  • Play defensively early and focus on farming safely, using Q to last-hit from range when possible.
  • After level 6, you can start looking for extended trades and zone him off the wave with your superior sustain.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't take extended trades early game when he has low health and high damage from his passive.
  • Avoid wasting your E shield on poke damage rather than saving it for when he commits to an all-in with R.
