How to play it

Respect her E mark
Her E (Shuriken Flip) mark is how she opens the fight: once she's thrown the dagger she can recast to dash to it, so don't be caught standing still.
Bait the recast
If you want the kill, let the first E hit you on purpose, then walk back toward your boxes: her recast dash to close the gap carries her right into them.
Poke with Deceive
Poke with Q: Deceive's backstab bonus lets you harass safely since you reset into stealth right after.
Never stay in the open after baiting her E: retreat toward your boxes so the recast dash carries her into them.
