Who Wins
- You completely dominate pre-6 with Q poke, W engage potential, and E to block her retaliation damage.
- Post-6 becomes more skill-dependent as her R gives her survivability, but you can still win with proper combo execution and ignite timing.
How to Trade
- Lead with Q poke when she goes for CS, then look for W-E-Q combos when she's low enough for kill pressure.
- Use E to block her Q and auto-attacks during trades, maximizing your damage while negating hers.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to establish lane priority and look for roam opportunities with R, or maintain a slow push to build up minions for an all-in.
- Don't let the wave freeze on her side where she can farm safely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your W engage when she has R available without calculating if you can finish the kill through her ultimate.
- Avoid extended trades post-6 without ignite as her sustain from passive and potential healing will outlast your burst.
