How to play it

✓ DO

Respect her R window

Her R is up ~20s more often than yours — don't fight her during that window.

Fight on her cooldowns

Every time her Q or W is down is a great time to fight — you're almost always the stronger champion.

Read her level 2

Dance at level 2 to see if she takes W or E second — if W, kite at range; if E, trade into her face.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never fight her in the window where her R is up and yours isn't — hers is ~20s shorter.
