How to play it

✓

Dodge her E

it's the one ability that matters; if it hits, keep cooldowns up to kite out the spirit proc.

✓

All-in when low

All-in once she's low, dashing all around her with R to dodge the E follow-up.

✓

Don't feed her poke

You shouldn't get clipped by her Q in lane: and never let her W poke you down for free.

✕

Never get hit by her E: that's the one ability that loses you the matchup.
