Who Wins
- You lose early trades to her superior range and burst, but post-6 you completely dominate with R setup into full combo.
- Her mobility becomes irrelevant when you can point-click suppress her.
How to Trade
- Focus on safe farming with E on minions and occasional Q poke rather than extended trades pre-6.
- Post-6, look for R opportunities when she wastes abilities or steps too close to farm.
Wave Control
- Survive early levels by farming with E bounces and backing for lost chapter as soon as possible.
- Once you have waveclear, constantly shove and look for roam timings or jungle skirmishes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match her early aggression or you'll get chunked out of lane before your power spike.
- Never waste your R on her when enemy jungler is nearby - save it for when you can guarantee the kill or have backup.
