Who Wins
- You win most 1v1 trades pre-6 through superior range and Q poke damage.
- Post-6 you maintain the advantage but must respect his all-in potential if he lands W fear, so position carefully to avoid his engage range.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q poke when he goes for CS, then immediately reposition to avoid his retaliation.
- Use your range advantage to stay outside his W range while still threatening damage with Q.
Wave Control
- Control waves by matching his push with Q while maintaining safe positioning behind minions.
- Keep waves slightly pushed to deny him roam opportunities while staying far enough back to avoid his all-in range.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get overconfident and walk into his W fear range for aggressive trades.
- Even with your range advantage, getting caught by his fear setup can result in losing significant health or dying to his full combo.
