리산드라 matchup: The ultimate assassin counter. Pokes you down, roots your engage, and self-ultimatums to completely negate your burst. Ditch lane and roam.

트린다미어 matchup: Endless resource-free sustain, unkillable in lane, and takes your turret in minutes if you leave. Use E to stall before your Zhonya's to kite out his 5-second R duration.

레넥톤 matchup: Complete stat-check. Wins every 1v1 trade, has massive sustain, and dashes out of your ultimate/ E . Shove and roam.

가렌 matchup: Completely unkillable due to his W damage reduction and defensive item build. Wins by existing and silencing you. Ignore lane, clear safely, and roam.

다이애나 matchup: Naturally way tankier with just as much burst, plus her W shield absorbs your primary kit. Wins extended duels. Let her push and setup ganks.

갈리오 matchup: Hard anti-mage with a massive built-in magic shield. Later the game goes, the more unkillable he becomes. Focus heavily on roaming to get your AD carries fed.

클레드 matchup: Impossible to solo kill. His Q bear trap completely tethers through your E , meaning he will literally pull you straight down out of your playful hop.

럼블 matchup: 1v1 you will almost never win. He shields your trades, pokes effortlessly with Q + E when you farm, and wins extended duels due to his Overheat passive. Stay healthy for ganks.

르블랑 matchup: Heavily LeBlanc favored. Pokes you down from range, and her chains will connect through your E to root you anyway. Challenger Secret: Sit in a side brush; when she uses W on the wave, cast R from out of vision and delete her.

아칼리 matchup: Annoying early Q spam and shroud. Once you hit 6, you win the all-in. Never engage with Q or she will simply flip back with her E . Your R provides true vision, revealing her completely inside her smoke cloud.

벡스 matchup: Punishes your dashes ( Q and E ) with her passive. Only engage when the red bar under her health bar is empty (meaning her Fear is down).

나서스 matchup: Mid lane tank/bruiser Nasus is impossible to solo kill. He out-sustains your mana bar and rushes MR. Shove the wave, ignore him completely, and roam with your jungler.

사일러스 matchup: Favorable for Sylas due to his W burst healing. Only throw E or R after he uses his first dash so he can't dodge. If he tries to steal your ult, press E mid-animation to put his hijack on full cooldown for nothing. Rush Oblivion Orb.

블라디미르 matchup: Purely non-interactive lane. He will permanently out-sustain you, and his pool functions exactly like your E , making it impossible to land a raw ultimate. Ditch lane, help your jungler, and rush Oblivion Orb.

카타리나 matchup: Trade after Level 4-5+. Don't fight early if she has Conqueror. Use R when there is no minion wave so she can't Shunpo away. Save E to dodge her R damage if you can't burst her down instantly.

질리언 matchup: Killable early, but annoying post-6 due to his revive. Trade heavily early (use E to dodge double bombs). Tip: Ult Zilean directly in teamfights to force him to use the revive on himself instead of his carries.

오리아나 matchup: Annoying pre-6 poke. Respect her range and stay healthy. Post-6, it's an easy kill if you land R . Never use E aggressively until you are 100% sure you kill her or use it to dodge her Shockwave.

트리스타나 matchup: Pre-6 is rough because she pushes fast and hits hard. Post-6 you can win the 1v1. Tip: Use E exactly during her Buster Shot ( R ) knockback animation to put her ult on full cooldown while completely negating the damage and CC.

아지르 matchup: In High ELO (Challenger/GM), a good Azir is a nightmare with relentless range, DPS poke, and a dash to dodge your E + R . (In low ELO, treat him as Easy and just run him down).

제이스 matchup: Brutal early poke. Sacrifice CS to stay healthy. Post-6, freeze the wave and use Q on a minion to mask your R animation to catch him off guard.

카시오페아 matchup: If her Q hits you, she runs you down with insane DPS. Never engage unless her W grounding miasma is down. Use your E to dodge her ultimate and burst her instantly.

말자하 matchup: Annoying spell shield. Pop it first with a quick Q or auto, walk back, and you have a 30-second window to land your ultimate. If you hit your R first, he cannot suppress you.

아크샨 matchup: Extremely annoying early poke and shields. Take it easy until Level 6—if you land your ultimate here, you can burst him. You can completely cancel his ultimate channel by pressing E .

애니비아 matchup: On paper you counter her, but a good Anivia is annoying due to her egg passive. Rely heavily on your jungler to break her egg early.

키아나 matchup: Pure skill matchup. Qiyana wins early, but you spike harder once you secure Zhonya's. Your ultimate provides True Vision , letting you see her inside her grass stealth shroud. Use E to dodge her ultimate.

탈론 matchup: You lose the early levels hard. You completely win post-6 once you purchase a Stopwatch/Zhonya's. Use E to dodge his W or Q to prevent his passive bleed. Your R gives true vision to track his stealth ultimate.

제드 matchup: Favorable for Zed early, but completely swings your way post-6. Crucial Secret: You must press E exactly while he is mid-air inside his ultimate animation before the mark lands on you to completely negate the death mark.

이렐리아 matchup: Annoying because her W nullifies your burst. Only fight her when she has zero passive stacks in the wave. Use E to dodge her R post-6. Freeze and let your jungler farm her.

요네 matchup: Favorable for Fizz if played properly, but do not fight early due to Lethal Tempo. Pop his bone plating with a single auto before comboing. Save your E to dodge his ultimate. He has no windwall, so land those sharks.

야스오 matchup: Pure skill lane. Do not fight inside a massive minion wave. Pop his passive shield before all-inning. You cannot throw long-range sharks due to Windwall—you must Q directly onto him and cast R point-blank instantly.

라이즈 matchup: Can be annoying early, but he is free food once you have your ultimate and some AP. Easy to gank since he lacks mobility. Destroy him early before he gets tanky late game.

조이 matchup: Her Q + E are completely dodgeable. Use your E to dodge her sleep bubble, and throw your R exactly where her portal snaps her back to for a free kill. Check her W drops first.

갱플랭크 matchup: Wins against you early, but becomes very easy once you get items. Land your R and use E to hop over his barrels. Crucial Tip: Ignite him before he eats his orange ( W ) to cut his burst healing in half.

신드라 matchup: She can poke you while moving early. Wait out the early levels until Level 6. Always save your E for her ultimate ( R ) because you can completely delete her damage.

빅토르 matchup: Annoying early game poke, but the moment you hit Level 6 you can kill him with your full combo. You can use your E to entirely avoid his Chaos Storm ( R ) ticks.

에코 matchup: The moment Ekko uses his Q on the minion wave, instantly jump on him and trade—you win every single time. The moment he drops his W shield, simply E out safely.

카르마 matchup: Not a major issue outside of some poke and movement speed. Immobile and easy to gank. Stay out of her binding range before you burst, and use E to engage or to flex-dodge her Q .

애니 matchup: Press R and win. Engage when her shield ( E ) is down. Remember you can cancel her Q and completely dodge her W + R burst with a timed E .

파이크 matchup: Always out-trade if you dodge his Q . Don't fight the first few levels because of Hail of Blades. Deep ward or ping properly because Pyke mid players always roam.

브랜드 matchup: High burst but short range compared to other mages. You land R , he dies. You can dodge his entire passive explosion + Q + W + R with your E .

럭스 matchup: Zero mobility makes landing your full combo easy. Just dodge her Q or she can burst you down. The moment her binding is on cooldown, go aggressive.

카서스 matchup: Incredibly easy to burst down. You can completely dodge the damage of his global ultimate ( R ) by timing your E correctly. Just focus on dodging his isolated Q bubbles in lane.

트위스티드 페이트 matchup: Easy to burst, completely immobile. You can dodge his Q + W card with your E . Ward and ping properly against him because TF players love to ignore lane and roam with R .

직스 matchup: Very squishy. Every single one of his abilities is a dodgeable skillshot. Ult after he uses his explosive satchel charge ( W ) so he can't escape your shark.

탈리야 matchup: Every single ability is completely dodgeable and she has little in-combat mobility. Dodge her Seismic Shove ( W ) and you win the lane automatically.

세라핀 matchup: Dodge her slow skillshots and heavily out-trade her. She has zero mobility for free gank setups, and her range isn't long enough to keep you away.

제리 matchup: Use your built-in passive (Ghosted) to stand directly inside the minion wave so her Q autos can't hit you, then take short trades. Once she is low enough, all-in.

말파이트 matchup: Easy to react and dodge his R with your E . Just don't get poked down by Q . (If he builds full Tank, shift him to S+/Impossible tier and just roam).

코그모 matchup: Permanently shoves the wave using his E , but has zero escape tools and is an incredibly free kill once you land your ultimate.

초가스 matchup: You can dodge both his Q knockup and W silence. He gets very tanky later and out-sustains if you don't secure an early kill, but he is incredibly easy to abuse with your jungler early on.

케일 matchup: Level 3-5 is a free win for you, just don't fall for her Level 1 bait when she has full passive stacks. Post-6 gets annoying because her R counters your burst, so get leads before she hits her 3-item spike.

니코 matchup: Land your R and dodge her E or R with your E . Just be careful because she can use her clone ( W ) to block your ultimate fish.

코르키 matchup: You win almost every trade if you dodge his Q and play around his E . He can dodge your ult with his Valkyrie ( W ) dash, so track his cooldowns and watch out for early Hexdrinker purchases.

아우렐리온 솔 matchup: Permanently shoves waves and roams. When your ult is up, freeze near your tower so you can land R and run him down the long lane. Use Q & E to dodge his Q and R .

베이가 matchup: "I will swallow your soul." (The shark's quote, not his). You can dodge every single ability —yes, even his ultimate! You can easily E right out of his cage, just never Q into the walls or it stuns you. Zero mobility = free ganks.

제라스 matchup: The moment you hit your ult, this guy is usually dead. You can dodge every single ability. When he hides far under turret to waveclear with Q , freeze the wave, then use Q on a minion to close distance into a max-range R to finish him.
