How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge her Q

Getting hit by both Q daggers makes the lane very hard to play — if the first one connects, do everything to dodge the second.

E her while she ults

Her dogs go untargetable when she ults — that's your window to land E straight onto her.

Survive level 1

Play safe level 1 until you know her spell — her Hail of Blades + Ignite cheese can chunk you 70-80%, don't lose the lane to it.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never int the lane fighting back through her level-1 Hail of Blades + Ignite cheese — you can drop low and still be fine.
