Who Wins

  • You lose most pre-6 trades if Zaahen lands W and gets into melee range due to his sustain and damage output.
  • Post-6 you gain kill pressure through R execute, but must respect his passive revive and R engage potential.

How to Trade

  • Poke with Q from max range and use E cage defensively when he tries to W pull you in.
  • Save your burst combo for when he's low enough that R can execute him through his healing, ideally after he's used his gap closers.

Wave Control

  • Maintain distance and farm safely, using Q to stack AP while avoiding his W pull range.
  • Look for opportunities to freeze the wave near your tower where his all-in potential is reduced by tower threat.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste E cage proactively as it's your only escape tool against his multiple gap closers.
  • Never underestimate his passive revive timing - he can still kill you during the 4-second stasis if you're low on health.
