How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge her E

Her Q into E is the combo that kills you — dodge the E and she loses the follow-up.

Cyclosword to catch her

Catching her is impossible without Cyclosword — only with that mobility can you actually threaten a kill.

Play safe

This is a losing lane, so farm safe and never get caught out of position.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never chase her without Cyclosword — you'll never catch her and you'll walk straight into her combo.
