Who Wins
- You dominate 1v1s levels 1-3 with superior base damage and sustain from Q, easily winning trades if you land E pull.
- At level 6, the matchup becomes more difficult as her R burst and kiting potential can outplay your all-in if she plays correctly.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is E pull into W-auto-Q combo, ensuring you get 3-4 stacks quickly for maximum damage.
- Look for opportunities when she steps up to CS or uses abilities on minions to engage with E.
Wave Control
- Keep the wave in the center or slightly pushed toward her to create longer chase potential when you land E.
- Avoid hard shoving as it gives her free poke and roam opportunities while denying your kill pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase her through minions where she can land easy Q poke and kite you effectively.
- Never use Q for waveclear when she's in range to trade, as you lose your main damage and sustain tool.
