Early game (levels 1–5)

This matchup comes down to fundamentals rather than a hard kit counter — poke with Twin Drift when you have a clean read on cooldowns, and lean on The Weirding's slow to punish overextensions. Play a normal, careful lane: farm safely, contest space when you can back it up, and don't overcommit to reads you haven't confirmed in-game.
