How to play it

Respect her all-in
At level 6 she out-duels you and can 100-0 you in one rotation: don't get caught before your first item.
Fight at level 1
Level 1 is your only stronger point: abuse it and make her miss XP off the first wave.
Don't feed her shroud
You can't land Q, W, or E on her inside her Twilight Shroud: E just hands her the shield, so don't waste your kit into it.
Don't look for extended fights before your first item: her burst will 100-0 you.
