Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and poke, but must respect his all-in potential once he lands W or gets close.
- Post-6 becomes heavily Aatrox-favored as his R negates your kiting advantage and provides too much sustain against your burst.
How to Trade
- Use Q on minions to push and poke simultaneously, then kite backwards with E placement to create distance when he engages.
- Your best trades involve landing W knockback when he commits to Q animations, disrupting his combo and allowing you to disengage safely.
Wave Control
- Focus on fast pushing to create roam timers and avoid extended laning, as you lose most extended trades against his sustain.
- Prioritize backing with good recalls to maintain item advantages, since falling behind makes the lane unplayable.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in extended trades without your E available, as you have no escape once he closes the gap with his dashes.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or areas where he can surprise engage, since his W-E-Q combo can kill you before you can react properly.
