Who Wins
- You dominate levels 1-3 with superior base stats, Q sustain, and W stun enabling guaranteed trade wins through your full combo.
- You start losing at level 6 when her R gives her enough damage and mobility to outplay your linear kit.
How to Trade
- You should E in, W for the stun, Q during the stun animation, then auto and E out to maximize damage while minimizing her retaliation window.
- This pattern becomes less effective post-6 when she can R to extend fights or E away from your engage.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain an aggressive freeze or slow push to deny her farm and force trades in the minion wave where your sustain advantage is maximized.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall, as giving her free farm under tower helps her reach her power spike.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to waste your E dash aggressively without confirming the kill, as her post-6 mobility makes it easy for her to turn fights around.
- Don't get baited into extended trades after level 6 where her animation canceling and R damage can outduel your sustained damage.
