Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to her burst combo potential and mobility advantage, especially when she has her full Q-W-E rotation available.
- Post-6 you become the dominant force in all-ins thanks to R, allowing you to ignore her burst and run her down with sustained damage.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to bait her abilities with positioning, then commit fully with E-AA-W when her cooldowns are down.
- Focus on short trades with W slow to prevent her from using her full combo, then sustain back up with Q between engagements.
Wave Control
- Let her push early waves while you focus on farming safely and building fury stacks for stronger trades.
- Once you hit 6, you can start forcing longer trades and all-ins, using the wave position to run her down the lane with your superior sustained damage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E aggressively without R available, as she can easily disengage with her mobility and you'll be left vulnerable to ganks.
- Avoid fighting when your fury is low, as your damage and sustain are significantly reduced without the crit chance and Q healing amplification.
