Who Wins
- You win most trades pre-6 with Q sustain and your ability to kite him after he uses Q.
- Post-6 becomes skill-dependent, but you can still win if you use W properly to dodge his E stun and kite with empowered Q.
How to Trade
- Poke with Q when he goes for CS, then immediately back off before he can Q-E combo you.
- Use empowered Q when he commits with Q, then W his E stun and continue kiting with phase rush if available.
Wave Control
- Keep the wave closer to your side so he can't use minions to gap close with Q effectively.
- Thin the wave with Q poke rather than hard pushing, maintaining your safety while denying his engage opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W defensively against his Q alone since it's not threatening enough to justify the long cooldown.
- Save W for when he commits with Q-E or when getting ganked, as mistiming it leaves you completely vulnerable.
