Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win trades with Q-W-E combo and sustain advantage, but respect her level 2 spike with Q-E.
- Post-6: You lose all-ins unless she misplays into your Q, as her R mobility makes landing abilities unreliable.
How to Trade
- Lead with Q when she goes for CS, then follow with W-E if it lands for maximum damage and sustain.
- Save your abilities when she has shroud available, as missing Q while she's invisible puts you at severe disadvantage.
Wave Control
- Push waves with W to deny her roam potential and maintain CS leads through superior waveclear.
- Keep waves in the center or slightly pushed to have space to land Q without tower interference.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q when she has shroud available, as the long cooldown leaves you defenseless against her all-in potential.
- Never fight extended trades post-6 without hitting Q first, as her mobility makes follow-up abilities nearly impossible to land.
