How to play it

Punish her W
Her W (Twilight Shroud) is her main threat: while it's down (20s CD) you're free to play aggressive.
Fish max-range Q
Post-6, fish for max-ranged Q's, then chain E's and autos: don't chase too far.
Ult her E return
When her second E lands her in front of you and her dashes are on CD, ult for a guaranteed stun.
Never keep fighting inside her W: she gains move speed and safety there; wait for it to drop.
