| Level 3 | Lucian | By level 3 your E dash lets you all-in during his four-shot reload where he can't escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lucian | Through levels 4-5 your double-shot procs and mobility beat his stationary poke pattern. |
| Level 6 | Lucian | At level 6 your dash and slow stick him through Curtain Call since he has no escape. |
| First item | Lucian | Your first-item double-proc spike wins extended trades while he's mid-reload. |
| Two+ items | Jhin | Late, Jhin's fourth-shot crits and global R snipe you down, flipping the matchup his way. |
Track Jhin's four-shot ammo: right after his crit fourth shot he's in a long reload, and that's when you E in and double-tap him down. Avoid trading into his W root setups.
