How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge her Q

Crescent Strike is a weird skillshot — dodge it by walking forward and not standing near minions.

Oneshot from fog

You can usually R her out of the fog for a full oneshot.

Punish her dash

If she E's (Lunar Rush) into you, Q her and get off a full drain.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never sit below 60-70% HP after level 6 — that's the window her all-in oneshots you.

Standard AP drain core: Liandry's Torment + Rylai's Crystal Scepter milk his channeled W for max damage while the slow keeps targets in range, and Zhonya's lets him ult from fog and stasis mid-channel. Flex the third slot to Banshee's Veil, Mercury's Treads, or a Null-Magic Mantle rush into heavy burst.
