Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 due to range disadvantage and lack of gap closers against her poke.
  • Post-6 you can potentially win if you successfully engage with E and avoid her W fear, but her R escape makes all-ins risky.

How to Trade

  • Look for short E-auto-Q trades when she wastes abilities on minions, then immediately back off.
  • Only commit to extended trades if her W is down and you can stack your passive without eating her full combo.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely and avoiding poke rather than pushing, since you can't match her wave clear early.
  • Let the wave push toward you to create gank opportunities, as she's immobile when her W is on cooldown.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't E forward when her W is available, as the fear will cancel your engage and leave you in a terrible position.
  • Avoid fighting when she has R available unless you can guarantee a kill, since she can easily escape over walls.
