Who Wins

  • You lose short trades pre-6 to her Q percent damage and mobility from W, but you win any extended engagement once your passive procs.
  • Post-6 you heavily favor the matchup as your R removes her from her team and forces a stat-check duel you typically win.

How to Trade

  • Bait out her W movement speed with your E pull, then look for extended trades where your passive and W shield out-sustain her burst damage.
  • Use Q for poke when she goes for CS, and save E-Q combos for when she commits to trades.

Wave Control

  • Let her push into you early game to farm safely and avoid her roam potential, using Q to last-hit and maintain wave position.
  • Once you have items and levels, you can start slow-pushing to build pressure and force favorable fights.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't chase her when she uses W to disengage, as you'll waste cooldowns and mana without proccing your passive for the damage over time.
  • Avoid fighting in open areas where she can easily E you into walls for the knockback stun.
