Who Wins
- Pre-6 you dominate with Q blind negating her trades and consistent auto attack harass from range advantage.
- Post-6 you lose all-ins if she lands R on you, but can still win if you maintain distance and use W movement speed to kite her burst combo.
How to Trade
- Auto attack harass constantly while maintaining max range, and use Q when she tries to engage with E or walk up for CS.
- Focus on short poke trades rather than extended fights where her energy sustain and burst potential become dangerous.
Wave Control
- Push the wave early to deny her CS and maintain lane priority, placing mushrooms in river bushes for jungle safety.
- Avoid freezing since it gives her safe farming and sets up her post-6 all-in opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when she has kill pressure, and avoid face-checking bushes after level 6 where she can R engage.
- Never fight her in extended trades after she hits 6 since her burst combo will outdamage your sustained poison damage.
