Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Azir's superior range and consistent soldier poke that you cannot effectively trade back against without landing skillshots.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure through E-Q-R combos, but only if you can land sleep through his soldier wall positioning.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern requires landing E first to guarantee Q damage, followed by R repositioning to avoid his soldier retaliation and secure the Q return hit.
- Focus on short Q pokes when his soldiers are poorly positioned rather than committing to full combos without sleep setup.
Wave Control
- Maintain neutral or slightly pushed waves to enable roaming opportunities while avoiding hard shoving into his superior waveclear.
- Look for freeze opportunities when he uses Q aggressively, as this forces him into vulnerable positions to farm with basic attacks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E on minions or use it predictably when his soldiers are positioned defensively, as this removes your only reliable engage tool for 14+ seconds.
- Avoid extended trades without spell shard advantages since his sustained damage through soldiers will always outdamage your base abilities.
