How to play it

Dodge her Q
On lane her Q matters by far the most: every one that lands is roughly half your HP; dodge it and she's weak.
All-in when forward
If she's pushed up the lane, all-in her: otherwise she'll poke you to death.
Don't outlast her mana
She has infinite mana: don't count on her running out; force a play instead.
Never try to outlast her mana: she never runs out; make your play when she over-extends.
