Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win almost every trade from level 1 onward — your passive, W, and E give you kill pressure she simply cannot match at close range; post-6 the matchup becomes harder because her R removes your kill pressure at range and she can perma-slow you, so you must look to kill her before she reaches 6 or force a significant gold lead.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to E her into you when she steps up to poke, immediately W to heal back her damage, and let your passive stack to 5 before committing to a kill — if she uses Q to stun you, use that window to close distance with ghost or your own movement so she cannot reset the trade.
Wave Control
- Deny her the ability to freeze by hard shoving early levels to force her under tower, where her E poke is less threatening and you can dive her once you have ignite and 6; if she tries to slow push against you, match it and look for all-ins when she overextends to last-hit.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not chase her through her Q wall after she places it at 6 — walking into a stun while she has R active and you are slowed by E is a death sentence, and you must respect that she can kite you indefinitely in open space once she has her full kit online.
