Damage
811Vex
653Tahm Kench
Vex heavily out-damages Tahm Kench by 157 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Tahm Kench should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Vex's sustained damage advantage take over.
