Who Wins
- You dominate pre-6 with superior base stats and Q mobility allowing you to gap close and out-trade consistently.
- Post-6 becomes more skill-dependent as her R gives her kill threat, but your R damage reduction helps survive her burst combos.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q dash to gap close, then weave autos between abilities while using Q resets to stick to her.
- When she uses W shroud, use your mobility to reposition and wait it out rather than fighting blindly inside it.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain aggressive positioning and look for frequent trades, pushing waves when ahead to deny her farm under tower.
- Control the wave state to prevent her from getting free backs and maintaining energy for trades.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase too deep when she uses W shroud as you can't see her and she gains movement speed inside it.
- Avoid using all your Q dashes aggressively without keeping one for escape, especially post-6 when she gains significant kill pressure.
