How to play it

✓ DO

Don't trade

into his damage — you'll lose the trades, so sidestep his poke and just farm.

Outscale him

There's no rush — late game you melt him, so farm safely and win on scaling.

Only fight super early

Trades only favor you in the very early game — once he has Tabis + Bramble there's nothing you can do.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to trade with him — you'll lose it, and after his armor items there's no coming back in lane.
