Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 as you lack tools to engage through his range advantage and E slow zones, forcing you to take poke while farming.
- Post-6 you win 1v1s with R engage into sustained trades, as your healing outscales his damage in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Look for short Q trades when he uses abilities on minions, then immediately back off to avoid his Q knockback and E follow-up.
- Once you hit 6, use R to engage when he's pushed up, then commit to extended trades with Q healing and passive sustain.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing the wave near your tower to force him to overextend for CS, making him vulnerable to ganks and all-ins.
- Avoid pushing as you have no escape tools and become easy to gank when overextended.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't take extended trades pre-6 as his Q knockback and E zones give him too much control over trade timing.
- Avoid using Q on minions when he has E available, as he can zone you from the wave and deny your sustain.
