Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 due to her range advantage and lack of gap closers, but post-6 you can win if you dodge her Q with your Q and commit fully with R.
  • The matchup heavily depends on landing your Q to avoid her kiting.

How to Trade

  • Your only viable trading pattern is Q onto her when she steps up, then commit with autos and E while she's in melee range.
  • You must make these trades count since you'll take poke damage walking back out.

Wave Control

  • Let the wave push to you and farm safely under tower, using Q to last hit minions when necessary.
  • You need jungle assistance to break her freeze, as she controls the wave state completely with her range.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't chase extended trades without your R available, as she will kite you to death with Q slow and range advantage.
  • Never Q onto minions predictably - she can position to punish your Q cooldown window.
