Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to range disadvantage and lack of reliable gap closers, forced to take poke while farming.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R engage potential, but must respect her R mobility and charm threat.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to stack passive on minions, then use enhanced Q or dash to gap close when her abilities are on cooldown.
- Always look to proc W shield before taking significant damage in trades.
Wave Control
- You need to maintain the wave in a neutral or slightly pushed position to have minions for passive stacking while avoiding overextension.
- Freezing near your tower forces her to step up for CS, creating all-in opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never engage without passive stacks or when your W is on cooldown, as you'll lack both gap closing and defensive tools.
- Trying to all-in when she has charm available often results in getting kited and chunked out.
