Who Wins

  • You win most early trades with Q poke and W shield negating her burst attempts.
  • Post-6 becomes more dangerous as her R gives significant kill pressure, but your R provides strong disengage or counter-engage options.

How to Trade

  • Use Q to poke when she goes for CS, then W to block her retaliation combo damage.
  • If she commits with E-R, you can R to either escape or turn the fight depending on your health and positioning.

Wave Control

  • Maintain slow pushes to keep minion advantage while using Q to zone her from CS.
  • Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall safely, as she excels at punishing overextended positions.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste W shield on minion damage as you need it to absorb her combo burst.
  • Avoid using R aggressively without vision as her mobility makes it easy for enemy junglers to collapse on your extended position.
