Who Wins
- You struggle pre-6 due to short range against Jhin's poke and Poppy's engage threat, requiring passive farming and E usage for disengage.
- Post-6 your R gives kill pressure on low-health targets, but Jhin's range still makes trading difficult.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E to zone Poppy from engaging while Viktor provides sustained damage with Q-auto trades.
- Your best trades come from landing E stuns that allow Viktor to follow up with full W-E-Q combos.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on farming safely and stacking AP rather than aggressive trades, using E defensively to create space when they engage.
- Prioritize wave management that allows Viktor to collect Hex Fragments while you scale your passive.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E aggressively as it's your only escape tool against Poppy's engage potential.
- Avoid face-checking brushes or overextending for CS as Jhin's long-range damage can chunk you before you can respond.
