Who Wins
- You dominate levels 1-3 with consistent Q poke and barrel zoning, forcing favorable trades whenever she approaches minions.
- At level 6, you maintain control through R for global impact and barrel combos, but must respect her all-in potential if she lands E on you.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q poke when she goes for CS, then immediately place barrels to zone her retreat path.
- When she uses W, you can freely auto-attack and set up barrel chains since she can't engage during the mist duration.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain barrel control by keeping one barrel behind your minion line and one forward for poke/escape.
- Push waves with Q and barrels to create roam timers, but avoid overextending without vision as her E-R combo can kill you if you're caught without barrels.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste barrels on minion clear when she has E available, as she can gap close and all-in you during the cooldown.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or fighting in areas without pre-placed barrels, as her sustained damage in melee range will overwhelm you.
