Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 heavily and should focus purely on survival and last-hitting with Q when possible.
- At level 6, you gain significant fighting power with your ultimate's resistances and can start winning extended trades if you haven't fallen too far behind.
How to Trade
- You should look for short Q trades when she wastes abilities on minions, then back off immediately.
- Once you have Sheen and some stacks, you can start taking longer trades with W-Q-E combo when she's low on cooldowns.
Wave Control
- You want to let her push into you early so you can stack safely near your tower.
- After your first back with armor, you can start slow pushing to build up minion advantages for potential all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot chase extended trades early game or fight without minions to reduce her damage.
- Wasting your Wither on her when she has E available is also a critical mistake that leaves you vulnerable to her full combo.
