Who Wins

  • You dominate pre-6 trades with superior base stats and Q-W burst, but post-6 becomes more challenging as her R mobility lets her kite your engage attempts effectively.
  • Your level 1-2 is particularly strong before she gets her full combo potential.

How to Trade

  • Look for Q flash engages or use minion waves to close distance, then immediately follow with W-E combo before she can shroud away.
  • Don't chase into her shroud - instead, zone her from CS and wait for the next opportunity when it's on cooldown.

Wave Control

  • Push waves aggressively early to establish lane priority and create dive opportunities with your jungler, since she struggles to match your waveclear pre-6.
  • After 6, be more cautious about overextending as her R gives her strong gank setup and escape potential.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste Q trying to chase her through shroud or after she uses R to escape - you'll rarely catch her and waste your primary engage tool.
  • Avoid trading when your W is on cooldown as it's crucial for both damage and sustain in extended fights.
