Who Wins
- You win early trades pre-6 through superior base stats and Q engage potential, but K'Sante's Q poke and W shield make extended trades difficult.
- Post-6, you have kill pressure with R but K'Sante's R escape and kiting tools make the 1v1 more skill-dependent.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q engage into W bite when K'Sante uses abilities on minions, then E to extend the trade if he tries to disengage.
- Avoid trading when your Q is down as K'Sante will poke you with Q and disengage with W.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to establish priority, then look for slow pushes into crashes when you have Q available for dives or roams.
- Avoid freezing as K'Sante can poke you out and scale better into teamfights.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions or use it predictably as K'Sante can easily W away and poke you during the cooldown.
- Avoid chasing too deep post-6 as K'Sante's R can turn fights around or escape over walls.
