Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 due to Tahm's superior sustain and poke potential with Q, making it hard to stick to him for meaningful trades.
  • Post-6 you gain a significant advantage as your R steals his massive health and resistances, making him much more vulnerable while empowering your own tankiness.

How to Trade

  • Use Q to slow him when he approaches for CS or Q poke, then follow with W and extended auto attacks in the zone.
  • Save E for when he tries to disengage, using the pillar to extend the trade and maximize your W healing and attack speed.

Wave Control

  • Accept being pushed early and focus on farming safely, looking for opportunities to freeze near your tower where extended trades favor you.
  • Once you hit 6, you can start forcing longer trades and using your superior wave clear to match his push.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't take short trades against his Q poke without committing to extended fights where your W zone advantage matters.
  • Avoid using E aggressively without your W active, as you need the attack speed and healing to win the sustained combat that follows the pillar displacement.
