Who Wins

  • Pre-6: You win early trades with E counter-strike negating her Q damage and auto attacks, but she can use W to avoid your stun and disengage.
  • Post-6: You generally win all-ins if you can stick to her, as your R passive and sustained damage output-scales her burst in extended fights.

How to Trade

  • Jump on her with Q when her W is down, activate E immediately to block her Q snips and auto attacks, then land the stun for a favorable trade.
  • If she uses W during your engage, disengage immediately rather than fighting in her mist where you can't target her effectively.

Wave Control

  • Push early levels to establish lane priority before she scales, then look to freeze near your tower to force her to overextend for CS.
  • Her W makes diving difficult, so maintain the freeze and look for jungle assistance when her escape tools are down.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't chase her into her W mist zone where you become untargetable to her but she can still damage you freely.
  • Avoid extended trades when her passive healing is fully stacked, as she'll out-sustain you without your R passive active.
