Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win convincingly — at level 2 you can already threaten with Q poke and at level 3 your full W-Q-E combo outdamages anything she can do back; post-6 her R directly counters your R's burst window, meaning your kill pressure drops sharply and you must either bait her R out first or accept that solo kills become very difficult.
How to Trade
- Your best pattern is to place your W shadow behind or to the side of her, proc E slow, then Q from both positions for double damage, and auto-reset with your passive — the goal is to chunk her below 50% health repeatedly so that when her R is on cooldown she has no safety net left.
Wave Control
- You want to deny her a passive stack farm lead by freezing the wave near your side of the lane when possible, forcing her to overextend for CS and making her vulnerable to your all-in; if she shoves, match the push and look to roam mid, where your impact is far greater than hers at that stage of the game.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not waste your R on her when she has R available — you will deal almost no meaningful damage during her invulnerability and she will heal back up, leaving you with a long cooldown and no kill; always either bait her R with a fake engage or track its cooldown before committing to your assassination pattern.
