How to play it
DO
Don't single-Q her
Her Molten Shield hurts you and procs Electrocute/Aery, so never go for a lone Q — at least Q-auto-Q her.
All-in her low
Wear her down to 60-70% HP and she becomes very easily all-inable.
Tibbers blocks E
When you Ult+E onto her, better Annies can body-block your E with Tibbers — account for it.
DON'T
Never let her free-auto you down — she has 600 auto range and will chip you out.
