How to play it
DO
Respect her W
Her W is her key defensive tool — you run Barrier because her all-in is so hard to survive.
Win levels 1-2
Poke her down at level 1/2 — that's your window before she gets going.
Freeze for river
Play for a freeze on the wave bounce and set up plays through river.
DON'T
Never let her free-farm through the early game — poke her down at 1/2 while you still have the edge.
