Who Wins
- You win most early trades through superior sustained damage and crit RNG, especially at level 1-2 before he has full combo potential.
- Post-6 the matchup becomes skill-dependent - you can win if you force extended fights and use R to survive his burst, but he can kite you effectively with E and R mobility.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is to build fury on minions, then run him down with ghost/W slow when he uses E aggressively, forcing extended auto-attack trades where you excel.
- Always save W for when he tries to disengage, as the slow prevents his escape and extends your damage window.
Wave Control
- You want to freeze the wave near your tower early to deny him farm and set up all-ins, then transition to hard pushing and splitting once you have items.
- Control the wave state to prevent his roaming potential and force him to match your split pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste R too early in fights - wait until you're actually low as he can disengage and re-engage after it expires.
- Never chase him through multiple walls or into his team without vision, as his E mobility makes him excellent at baiting you into bad positions.
