Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to his range advantage and your lack of reliable gap closers, taking too much poke while farming.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure if you can land Q, but he still has tools to kite you with E and execute you with R before your healing kicks in.
How to Trade
- Look for Q engages only when his E is down or when you have minion advantage to absorb his W damage.
- Once you land Q, immediately W for the bite heal and stick with passive lightning - don't let him kite you out of the trade.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed in early and focus on farming safely under tower while looking for jungle assistance.
- After 6, try to freeze near your tower to create longer lanes for Q engages where he can't easily escape.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase him through minions with Q if he has E available - he'll just knock you back and W you down while you're slowed.
- Also avoid trading when you're low since his R execute will kill you before your W healing can save you.
