54948%+401+617To win trades against a champion who has the range advantage and strong passive healing, master the crucial short-trade pattern described by experts: use your Grass Q instantly as she attempts her Auto-W-Auto sequence. This immediate stealth ensures her final auto misses, successfully preventing her Electrocute activation while allowing you to maintain an HP advantage. If looking for a kill, poke her down to about 50-70% HP first.

Champion Portrait of Yasuo
Yasuo
Very Hard
35247%+218+13Mandatorily purchase Serpent's Fang as your second core item to consistently negate the significant shielding and healing provided by his runes and item builds. When trading, restrict your E-Q (Grass) trades to areas near your tower to limit his ability to dash onto minions and harass you out of stealth.
Champion Portrait of Zed
Zed
Favored
29155%+183-76Master the R timing: if Zed initiates his ultimate first, position yourself against a wall and immediately cast your R (Supreme Display of Talent) at the precise moment he emerges from the ultimate's invulnerability behind you. This guarantees the stun, as the player who ults first usually loses the duel.
Champion Portrait of Viktor
Viktor
Hard
27149%+275+647Due to his oppressive Q shield (which takes zero damage from minions), focus on manipulating the minion wave state by pulling the cannon wave to your tower, allowing you to hit Level 3 first. This creates a critical window for an early all-in attempt before his scaling makes the lane impossible.
Champion Portrait of Akali
Akali
Easy
24453%+275+156When Akali attempts to trade using her Q, you must preemptively execute your E-Q combo, aiming to end up behind her so that her Q projectile does not connect, securing an early trade advantage. Crucially, never E into her if her E ability (Shuriken Flip) is readily available, as she will instantly win the trade by utilizing her E while you are mid-dash. Remember that her Shroud cooldown is approximately 20 seconds, and avoid all-ins if it is up.
Champion Portrait of Katarina
Katarina
Easy
21351%+395+214Against a Conqueror Katarina, prioritize ending your short trade with a Grass elemental Q and immediately disengaging, specifically preventing her from stacking Conqueror and sustaining through your burst. If she uses her Q on the wave, you have an immediate window to engage with E-Q-Auto-W. Save your ultimate to counter hers.
Champion Portrait of Sylas
Sylas
Easy
21043%+404+642Ignite is a mandatory summoner spell in this matchup to negate his W heal. The entire lane hinges on dodging Sylas's E (Chain Lash); if he misses, engage aggressively with your full combo and Ignite to secure a kill before his W heal can save him, especially before he gains three points in W (Level 5+).
