 Jax | Easy | 442 | 49% | +239 | -144 | During lane, You have to let Jax jump on you and eat his combo, when Jax's E is over. You MUST all-in and land your abilities. OR if you're opening the fight with Q1, expect Jax to jump on you and then you should instantly W then q2 back and win the trade | |
 Fiora | Very Hard | 437 | 47% | -160 | -1319 | Avoid level 1 fights, just reset her vitals by walking out. Always rush bramble here. You have to mindgame Fiora's parry using your W to bait it and avoid it with your dash. This is your window to all-in while its down. Stay near walls when she ults. Fiora hard outscales in the side lane but you can teamfight her. | |
 Sett | Easy | 400 | 54% | +215 | +158 | Kite backwards and don't stand in his auto range for free. If he qs toward you just q1 and then q2 and e. Keeping the wave and your spacing good is very important in this matchup since you if trade poorly he can dive if he has enough health. | |
 DrMundo | Easy | 386 | 56% | +930 | +1079 | Rush Execution's Calling, play to poke him down with Q's and don't go melee with him unless you land your W. Should be a free lane | |
 Mordekaiser | Easy | 375 | 49% | +132 | +177 | Focus on dodging his pull. Mordekaiser has no way to trade back on your combo due to his lack of mobility. Avoid all-ining in his Death Realm and play for short trades on your q cooldown. | |
 Darius | Very Hard | 371 | 51% | -271 | -705 | Respect Darius Level 1. Level 2 onwards, you look to poke him with Q into QE backwards. Do not attempt to Q3 into him if you're landing Q's because Darius will just win all-in after that. Your goal is to rinse and repeat whittling him down until you are able to all-in him with ignite. When you all-in hold your E to dash forward avoiding Darius outer Q. You outscale him in teamfights | |
