Who Wins

  • Draven-Nautilus wins pre-6 through superior all-in potential when Nautilus lands hooks, while your poke advantage gets negated by their engage threat.
  • Post-6 becomes more even as your R provides counter-engage, but Nautilus R still creates dangerous pick scenarios.

Synergy & Trading

  • Focus on Q poke when Draven is catching axes, then follow Lux bindings with full W-E-Q combo for maximum damage.
  • Your optimal trades involve staying at max range and using W blight stacks efficiently rather than committing to extended fights.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Slow push into crashes to create recall timings, as you lack escape tools against Nautilus engage.
  • Use your superior range to maintain minion advantages while avoiding positions where hooks can connect.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't get baited into extended trades where Draven's Q axes out-damage your abilities - your power comes from burst, not sustained fighting.
  • Never use R aggressively without vision of enemy jungler, as you have no mobility to escape ganks.
