Who Wins

  • You win pre-6 through levels 1-3 with Q poke and all-ins when she's low on minions for Q resets.
  • Post-6 you lose the 1v1 as her R gives her sustain, damage reduction, and setup for extended trades where your W sustain can't match her kit.

How to Trade

  • Your best trading pattern is Q into auto-W-auto when she goes for CS, then back off before she can stack passive on minions.
  • Avoid extended trades unless she has no minion wave to work with for Q resets.

Wave Control

  • Push early levels to deny her minions for Q mobility, then look to freeze near your tower once she hits 4-5.
  • You want to control minion positioning since her entire kit revolves around having targets to Q through.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't chase her through minion waves where she can Q reset infinitely and stack passive.
  • Your biggest mistake is fighting in large minion waves where she becomes untouchable with Q mobility.
