Stay passive on a bruiser or healthy opponent if you can't win them, just play passive until 6 and a good amount of items. The best way to engage is with your "w" "q" combo, then you can run away and heal or fight. If your opponent isn't skilled enough or has a tough time against you, bully the lane and control it, most likely you can win trades "pre6" or even after 6. Once you reach 6 you can hurt others alot while not taking alot of damage.

Look at its stats combined with your masteries and potions it makes a great combo! Use red potions if you want more mana and health quicker, if the top lane is a bruiser or bully get a refillable against the enemy!

The "W" "Q" Combo!! Get it done, if you can't hit it, then try to use your abilities together, start hitting them with your w, then go in front of them and w into your minion wave, remember when you are top lane or mid, use the minion wave at your advantage and to poke them down hard, if you have a cannon minion let them auto you then you "q" and push them in front of your wave with "w". The damage from your minions will be more aggressive towards him for hitting you first, if you know how to combo, that is a better way to maneuvering with agro but either way both ways work!
