Who Wins

  • You lose early trades due to her Q poke and W reflecting your Q tornados, making standard trading patterns ineffective.
  • Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R if you can land Q3 or she mispositions, but her E root can still shut down your engage.

How to Trade

  • Look for E-Q combos through minions to gap-close and avoid her Q poke, then commit to extended trades with autos and Q.
  • Bait out her W with a Q, then immediately E through minions for a second angle of attack before the cooldown resets.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely and look for roaming opportunities since she can push you in with Q spam.
  • Use E mobility through minions to dodge her Q poke and maintain wave position, avoiding getting completely zoned from CS.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to trade when she has W available as she'll reflect your Q damage back at you.
  • Avoid fighting in open areas where she can easily land E root - instead, use minion waves for E mobility to create unpredictable engage angles.
