How to play it
DO
Dodge her W
Use your passive move speed to dodge her W — it's the setup that lands her whole E combo.
Trade with W
She's immobile, so land your W to lock her down and trade — the lane is easy once you finish Revolver.
Keep E out of her E
Don't dash your E into her Unraveled Earth — you can't dash across it, only blink the second part out.
DON'T
Never get caught by her full W-into-E combo — avoid it and you win the matchup.
