How to play it
DO
Bait her W
Bait Ring of Frost first, then heavily trade onto her — cleansing it is almost never worth it.
All-in near your tower
Keep the wave by your own tower and all-in — she's rather squishy and easier to kill there.
Her ult is a Zhonya
Even through Cleanse she can self-cast Frozen Tomb as a stasis, so plan for her to survive your first burst.
DON'T
Never chase her under tower off your E — her E drag and follow-up CC will kill you.
