Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 badly to her mobility and burst, especially levels 2-4 when she can stack passive easily.
- Post-6 you can start winning trades with R stats and W slow, but she still threatens all-ins until you get armor.
How to Trade
- Use W defensively when she engages, then look for short Q trades when her abilities are down.
- Never extended trade early game - take what Q stacks you can and back off immediately.
Wave Control
- Accept CS losses early and focus on safe Q stacking under tower - let her push and ask for jungle help.
- Once you have Sheen + armor, you can start contesting the wave more aggressively.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match her early aggression or fight for every CS - you need to survive to your power spikes.
- Avoid face-checking bushes without vision since she can stack passive on jungle camps and surprise all-in you.
