Who Wins
- You lose most early trades due to range disadvantage and lack of mobility, but can survive through Q poke and E sustain damage.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R, but only if you can land it before she uses E to escape.
How to Trade
- Focus on E-W trades when she steps up for CS, using voidlings to zone and block her Q.
- Save Q for when she commits with E, as landing it during her dash guarantees significant damage.
Wave Control
- Accept early CS deficits and focus on safe farming with Q until you get lost chapter for waveclear.
- Once you have mana sustain, hard push waves to limit her roaming potential and force her to match your pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste R on her when she has E available as she can buffer it to escape your combo.
- Don't try to match her roams early - focus on scaling and taking tower plates when she leaves lane.
