How to play it

✓ DO

Her R oneshot

Her only way to win is to oneshot you with R + Ignite — build Tabis or Seeker's early, and don't hide behind walls since her R can clip you off one.

6 = kill her

Like all assassins you counter her hard — after 6 you can usually 100-0 her with R.

Bully her pre-6

Play super aggressive pre-6 — contest every single minion and don't let her breathe.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Hide behind walls near her — her R can hit you off a wall by accident.

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.
