Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to range disadvantage and lack of gap closers, forced to give up CS against her Q poke.
- Post-6 you become favored with R access, as you can all-in through her E and out-damage her in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern pre-6 is W-E-Q when she steps up, then immediately W back to avoid retaliation.
- Post-6, look for R-E-Q-auto combos when her E is down, as she cannot interrupt your assassination pattern.
Wave Control
- Accept CS disadvantage early and focus on not taking free Q poke, using W defensively to farm safely.
- Post-6, manipulate waves to create all-in opportunities by slow pushing then crashing, or freezing near your tower to extend chase potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W aggressively pre-6 as it's your only escape from ganks and trading tool combined.
- Never R into her when she has E available, as the charm will cancel your combo and leave you vulnerable in her team.
