How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge Q crit

She outtrades you if that Q sweetspot lands, so avoid standing in the crit portion of her Snip Snip!

Bait her W

Bait her Hallowed Mist with your W, then take an even trade — an easier version of the Camille matchup.

Waste her ult

Hold your E and dash out to dodge her Needlework and waste the ultimate.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never take a fight with Ignite on you or into her Q sweetspot — that's how she outtrades you.
