How to play it

✓

Respect her 6 all-in

She has a strong all-in at 6 when the wave favors her: play safe through the early levels.

✓

Win from level 7

With four points in Q at level 7 you win every short trade: fish for Qs.

✓

Punish her E dash

When she E's and dashes onto you, W to soften the burst, then land a Q and step away.

✕

Never blow your Q on a minion while her E mark is on you: save it to punish her dash back in.
