How to play it

Respect her ult
Her R nullifies all damage in the zone: don't burn your ult back, you'll usually land outside it.
1v1 with a lead
You win the 1v1 only if you're more than an item ahead: a smaller lead is skill-based.
Level 2 gromp invade
Watch for a level 2 invade at gromp: she's a very strong early jungler.
Never take the 1v1 unless you're more than an item ahead: otherwise she wins.
