Who Wins

  • You win pre-6 through consistent Q-W poke and superior range advantage in trades.
  • Post-6 you lose if she lands E and gets on top of you, but you can still win if you maintain distance and land your full R combo.

How to Trade

  • Your optimal trading is Q-W when she goes for CS, using your range to poke without retaliation.
  • If she dashes in with R, immediately E backwards and look for full combo with R if she's low enough for a kill.

Wave Control

  • Maintain slow pushes to keep the wave in favorable positions while poking her down with Q-W.
  • Avoid hard shoving unless you have vision, as getting ganked without flash means certain death due to your immobility.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste E defensively unless she's already committed with R, as it's your only self-peel tool.
  • Never face-check bushes or river without vision, since one E from her with jungler presence means you're dead with no escape options.
