How to play it

Bait her dashes
She evades your all-ins on her mobility: be patient and make her use most of her dashes before you cast.
Q during her Q3
You can usually guarantee a Q hit while she's locked casting her third Q.
Just don't die
By far your hardest melee matchup: focus entirely on farming and surviving to tier-2 boots and your first item.
Never commit your all-in before she's used most of her dashes: she'll evade it and punish you.
