Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 to her range and poke but can punish overextension with E-Q combo at level 2.
  • Post-6 you win all-ins if you land E or dodge her R, but struggle if she maintains distance and pokes you down first.

How to Trade

  • Your best trading is setting up minion waves for Q resets, then E-Q-auto-Q to gap close and extend trades.
  • Look for opportunities when she wastes W or steps up for CS without minion protection.

Wave Control

  • Let her push early then freeze near your tower to create long lanes for all-ins, or set up slow pushes to build minion advantages for Q resets.
  • Avoid getting poked down while farming under tower.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste E without minion setup for Q resets, as you'll be stuck in a losing ranged vs melee matchup.
  • Never all-in when she has W available and you don't have minions to extend the fight with Q resets.
