Who Wins
- Pre-6 you have slight 2v2 advantage through superior poke range, but Soraka's sustain makes it difficult to secure kills.
- Post-6 your R gives better pick potential than their ultimates, making you stronger in extended fights.
Synergy & Trading
- Lead trades with Q when enemies are CSing, then follow with W under their feet as they retreat.
- Coordinate with Senna's W slow to guarantee your E stun for maximum damage combos.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam mid at levels 4-6 when you have multiple points in Q for waveclear and kill pressure.
- Time roams when Senna can handle 1v2 briefly or when the wave is pushing toward your tower.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use abilities to clear minions when enemies are in range for poke - your mana is better spent on champion damage.
- Avoid positioning where Caitlyn can trap you during your Q channel animation, especially near walls.
