How to play it
DO
Respect her ult
Frozen Tomb is her only real lockdown — don't dive in before she's used it.
All-in post-5
This is heavily Sylas-favored — once you're past level 5 you win hard, so force the fights.
Self-cast the steal
When you steal her ult, self-cast it on yourself — that's far stronger than throwing it at an enemy.
DON'T
Never waste her stolen ult on an enemy — self-casting Frozen Tomb on yourself is far better.
