How to play it
DO
Dodge her charm
, then trade back — it's her only real threat and a long, annoying CC.
Punish her W-auto
Pop your W as she steps up to W-auto you, then land a good trade on her.
Don't feed her push
From level 7 she oneshots casters — put yourself between her and the wave so she can't shove for free.
DON'T
Never trade your ult for hers at the same moment — she buys CDR, so hers comes back first.
