Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win through consistent poke and kiting, preventing Zaahen from building Determination stacks effectively.
- Post-6: The matchup becomes more dangerous due to his R engage, but proper positioning and E usage can still maintain your advantage.
How to Trade
- Auto-Q-auto for quick W proc trades, then immediately create distance before he can respond with abilities.
- Focus on consistent short trades rather than extended fights where his Q healing and Determination stacks become problematic.
Wave Control
- Maintain a slow push to keep minions between you and potential W pulls, then crash and reset when the wave gets too large.
- Avoid freezing in extended positions where his R can catch you without escape routes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E aggressively for damage when his W or R are available, as you need it to escape his engage tools.
- Standing too close to walls also gives him free stun opportunities if he lands W into the wall.
