How to play it

Her knock-up is unavoidable
Her knock-up is basically unavoidable: it's point-and-click so you can't bait it with your R, and a 1-second lockup mid-game often means you die.
Only fight up an item
You win the 1v1 only when you're ahead by a full item: even or behind, she beats you, so don't take coinflip skirmishes.
She's strong early
She's a strong, reliable early-game jungler who out-duels you before items: play for scaling instead of early fights.
Never fight her even or behind: without an item lead her unavoidable knock-up just kills you.
