Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

She runs you down

Her passive gives her move speed toward you and Silver Bolts deals true damage on the third hit — overextend and she autos you to death.

Punish her tumble

If she tumbles forward you can land a Q on her and see if she eats your E too; if she takes heavy minion or tower aggro there's a kill.

Survive to items

You may not 1v1 her — soak XP and farm under tower to Stridebreaker and level 11, where you become a useful frontline.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never drop low enough to get dove — she or her jungler will collapse on you.
