Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 easily with Q poke and superior range, forcing her to use Q defensively or take heavy damage.
- At level 6, you lose the all-in if she lands E stun and has minions to Q through, but you can still win if you land Q knockups and kite with your range advantage.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is to use Q1 or Q2 to poke when she goes for CS, then immediately back off to avoid her gap close potential.
- If she Q's onto you, use E to pull her into your Q3 sweetspot, then W for sustain and continue the extended trade with your superior DPS.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain the wave in the center or slightly pushing to deny her minions for Q resets while keeping poke pressure with Q.
- Avoid letting her freeze near her tower where she can safely stack passive and look for all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your E pull when her Q is available, as she can easily dash away and re-engage on her terms.
- Never fight her when she has full passive stacks and multiple low-health minions nearby, as her mobility becomes overwhelming.
