How to play it

✓ DO

Never eat her fear

Getting feared is 10x worse than any other CC — watch the fear bar under her mana and don't get caught.

All-in post-6

She's very all-inable once she wastes her fear and walks up after 6 — her level 6 is only a weak reset ult.

Don't over-E

Her auto is easy to buffer as you E away and gets empowered against dashes — only E in when you're committing.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never get hit by her fear — it's the one piece of CC that turns a trade into a death.
