Who Wins
- You win most trades pre-6 through superior sustain and Q damage, with level 1-2 being particularly strong for establishing dominance.
- Post-6 you dominate 1v1s even harder as R steals his defensive stats, making him much squishier.
How to Trade
- Look for extended trades using Q to reduce his damage while increasing yours, then chase with W movement speed if he tries to disengage.
- Use E to cut off his escape routes and force longer engagements where your sustain advantage shines.
Wave Control
- Maintain slow pushes to build large waves that force him to stay in lane rather than roam with R.
- Focus on freezing when ahead to deny him farm and force him into unfavorable trades when he tries to break it.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E pillar placement as it's your only tool to prevent his E escape and has a long cooldown.
- Avoid trading when your Q is down as it's crucial for both damage and damage reduction in this matchup.
