Who Wins
- Pre-6, you win this lane at level 3 once you have E-Q-W online — you can dash onto her, proc your Q ring, and W heal through her E damage, and she cannot disengage cleanly without a clean Q stun landing.
- Post-6, the matchup becomes significantly harder because her R wall denies your mobility and her egg passive means you need ignite or a large damage lead to actually kill her, so you must respect the wall placement and avoid fighting in confined spaces.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to bait out her Q by walking forward and sidestepping, then immediately E onto her and proc your full combo before she can place R to cut you off; if she places R preemptively, do not dash through it — instead disengage and wait for it to expire before re-engaging.
Wave Control
- You want to keep the wave even or slightly slow-pushed toward you so she cannot safely use R to freeze and zone you; if she gets a hard freeze going under her tower, you lose all kill pressure and she scales freely, so use your Q to poke the wave and deny her a clean setup.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not steal her R expecting it to be a free win tool — while her R is strong, using it poorly by placing the wall in an open area gives her time to land Q stun and punish you; also never all-in through her egg passive without ignite, as the reset gives her full mana and passive regeneration that lets her turn the fight.
