Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 to Azir's range and consistent soldier poke, taking unfavorable trades if you try to force engages.
- Post-6 you become heavily favored as your R bypasses his range advantage and provides the gap-close needed to burst him down.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pre-6 is W-E-Q poke when soldiers are down, then immediately backing off to avoid extended trades.
- Post-6, look for R-E-Q-auto combos when his E is on cooldown, as he cannot escape your all-in without it.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed early and focus on farming safely with Q, then look to freeze the wave near your tower post-6.
- This creates longer lanes for your all-ins while making it harder for him to escape to his tower after you R.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your W for poke trades when your R is available, as you need W for optimal burst combos and gap-closing.
- Using W carelessly gives him free poke windows and reduces your kill pressure significantly.
