How to play it

✓ DO

Bait her ult

Only all-in when her R is down or you can dodge it — otherwise she ults you backwards out of the kill.

Kill after 6

Dodge her ult and she's killable, and once you hit Riftmaker you destroy her in the sidelane.

Don't E into W

Don't dash E while her W is up and don't trade into her shield — both just eat your damage.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never commit your all-in while her R is up — she knocks you straight back out of it.
