How to play it

✓

Answer her W

Pop your own W early in trades so you're shielded when she presses Ki Burst: then she can't find a clean short trade and dash out.

✓

Taunt when she's poked

Taunt in aggressively only once she's poked down and you're holding 1-2 empowered Q's, then chain 4-5 empowered Q's.

✓

Poke on the dragthrough

Hit her with your Q's 75 extra range as she moves to push, then kite back instantly so she burns 1-2 Q's chasing: and stand behind your melees, not in front.

✕

Never taunt forward unless you have a clear reason it won't backfire once your empowered Q's are gone.
