How to play it

Dodge her spears
they hurt like hell and hit hardest at max range, where they're easiest to sidestep.
Jump her
She folds if you get the jump on her: she only has mobility in cougar form, so catch her out of it.
Avoid her traps
Don't step on her traps: eating a spear or trap powers up her cougar-form burst.
Never fight her while low on HP: her cougar Q deals damage based on your missing health.
