Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior all-in with Q-E stun combo, but must respect her Q poke and W reflection which can turn trades against you.
- Post-6 your R burst gives you kill pressure, but her R execute becomes dangerous when you're low on health.
How to Trade
- Use Q to zone and farm safely, then look for Q-E stun combos when her W is down or she steps forward to Q.
- Always have escape route planned as her E root can set up ganks or extended trades you'll lose.
Wave Control
- Control minion waves by positioning Q spheres to zone her from CS while building up sphere count for bigger combos.
- Push when ahead to roam, but be careful of her global R pressure on your roaming targets.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste multiple abilities trying to poke through her W reflection - wait for the barrier to expire or bait it out first.
- Never fight extended trades in her minion wave where she can stack Overwhelm on multiple targets including you.
