Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you win the scuttle fight by placing W between yourself and her to deny her approach, then freely poking with Q while she is forced to either disengage or walk through the terrain damage.
From level 6, you do not have a guaranteed 1v1 win if she lands R onto you from outside W range, so your win condition is maintaining distance, pre-placing W to cut off her pathing, and burning her down with Q stacks before she can stick to you.

She will most likely start Raptors or Red Buff and look to hit level 3 quickly to contest scuttle, as her clear speed is decent and she wants to find early skirmishes where her all-in pattern is strongest.
Expect her to path toward scuttle at level 3 and then look for aggressive dives or invades post-6 when she has R available to close gaps on you.

You can invade her at level 3 if you have vision of her location, as your W zone completely shuts down her engage pattern and you out-range her Q with your own Q; target her second buff camp when she is finishing her first clear.
Avoid invading post-6 without vision or backup, because a single R from her collapses the distance instantly and your W may not save you if she lands Q first to proc her passive shield.

Do not use W reactively as a panic button when she is already on top of you, because the terrain takes a moment to form and she can R through or around it if she times her engage correctly.
Avoid standing in narrow jungle corridors where your W has limited placement angles, as this removes your primary tool for controlling the fight geometry and lets her dictate the engagement on her terms.
