Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 to her superior burst and mobility in short trades, but can win extended fights with W healing.
  • Post-6 you still struggle as her R execution and mobility counter your engage patterns and health stacking.

How to Trade

  • Look for extended trades after baiting her E cooldown - use Q to gap close, then W when she's low for maximum healing.
  • Your E can zone her from minions but don't rely on it to win trades alone.

Wave Control

  • Let her push early levels and farm safely with Q to last-hit, then look to freeze near your tower where she can't easily escape ganks.
  • Avoid trading in large minion waves where her AOE damage excels.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't chase her with Q when she has E available - she'll just dash away and you'll take minion damage for nothing.
  • Never trade when your W is on cooldown as you lose all sustain advantage.
