Who Wins
- Pre-6, you lose extended trades if she lands Q because the sustained E spam will outdamage your all-in unless you can gap-close and burst her quickly — level 1 and 2 favor you for short aggressive trades before she builds poison stacks, but level 3 onward she can zone you with Q and punish any overextension.
- Post-6, you need an external knockup source or your own Q tornado to engage, and her R will interrupt your R landing if she faces you, making solo all-ins extremely risky without setup.
How to Trade
- Your best trade pattern is a quick E dash onto her to proc Q and auto-attack, then immediately E away before she can stack E hits on you — you want to reset the trade on your terms rather than letting her dictate sustained damage.
- Use your passive shield to absorb her first E hit, then engage immediately to maximize the window before she can re-apply poison.
Wave Control
- You want to freeze or slow-push the wave to keep minions in the middle of the lane, giving you more E dash targets to dodge her Q and maintain mobility during trades.
- Avoid letting her shove you under tower freely, as she will poke you through the wave with Q and E while you are stuck farming under turret with limited dash options.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not face her when you land your R — she will immediately R you back, stunning you and dealing massive damage during your most vulnerable moment.
- Never use W reactively to block one E hit thinking it wins the trade; save it specifically for her R, as that is the only ability worth negating with it in this matchup.
