Scuttle Contest

  • You win scuttle fights at level 3 due to your Q knockup and W sustain giving you superior extended trades.
  • From level 6, you win 1v1s when you can engage with E onto him before he uses his E-Q combo, as your R can knock him away if he tries to all-in you.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • He will likely start bot side for a standard clear into top scuttle, or potentially invade your red buff early since his E-Q combo gives him strong level 2 dueling.
  • Expect him to path toward whichever scuttle spawns first after his initial clear.

Invade or Not

  • Yes, invade his red buff at level 2-3 when you have Q stacks ready and W available for sustain.
  • You can also counter-jungle his krugs or raptors after successful ganks since you clear them faster with your Q reset.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your E to engage when his E-Q combo is available, as he can disengage or turn the fight with his superior burst combo.
  • Avoid fighting him in narrow jungle corridors where his R can trap you against walls without escape options.
