How to play it

✓ DO

Respect her level 6

At 6 she can 100-to-0 you — stay near tower and play really passive.

Poke when E is down

When her E is down pre-6, poke her with a fully-stacked Q into E.

Wait out her shroud

If she shrouds to dodge your E, back off and wait for it to run out.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never trade into her Q — when she uses it, stay passive until it's down; preferably never trade.
