How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge her E

Her E is the whole matchup — sidestep it and she loses all kill pressure. Dodge E = win.

Punish E cooldown

The moment her E is down she has no answer — all-in and oneshot her before it comes back up.

Out-sustain her

Any build works — win the drain war and out-sustain her trades; if she does pull you, Q and auto her to cut the debuff duration.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never keep fighting inside her R — walk out of the tentacles instead of tanking them.
