How to play it
DO
Watch her wall
Don't get your E canceled by her wall — if she walls you mid-dash, you die.
All-in with no egg
You have better early skirmishes and can do a lot in sidelane — when her egg is down she's much easier to all-in.
Only take the egg with resources
Never take her egg unless you have the energy, E, ult or ignite to finish it — she takes more damage in egg but goes full HP again if you walk away.
DON'T
Never take her egg without the resources to finish it — she just heals to full and it's wasted.
