How to play it

✓ DO

Respect Q stacks

Only ranged-auto her at one Q stack or less — trade into stacked Snip Snip and she wins the exchange.

Trade after her E-Q

Bait her E-Q onto the wave, then short-trade with Stormraider's Surge — that's your real winning window.

W-zone trick

Push so she farms under tower in her W; you can't target her inside it, but a melee Q on a minion at the edge can catch her — only if you're 100% winning it.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never keep trading her once she has more items — keep HP high and push in her face instead.
