Who Wins
- You win most trades pre-6 through Q poke, passive healing, and superior range advantage.
- Post-6, you maintain an edge through sustain and disengage, but must respect her all-in potential if she lands E-W combo with R active.
How to Trade
- You should poke with Q1 and Q2 from max range, then disengage before she can gap close with E.
- If she commits with E-W, immediately W to pull her during her combo animation and follow up with Q3 sweetspot for maximum damage.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or neutral wave state to keep optimal Q spacing while denying her freeze attempts.
- Push hard only when you have kill pressure or need to recall, as her mobility makes tower dives dangerous.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to miss W when she engages since it's your primary tool for controlling her mobility and setting up Q sweetspots.
- Using Q abilities carelessly without considering her E cooldown leaves you vulnerable to her superior close-range damage.
