How to play it

✓ DO

Respect her ult

Leap of Faith flips a lead, so never 1v1 her when her ult is up — post-6 she just statchecks you.

Punish level 3

Slow-push and stack a big wave — she can't stop you, so demolish her at level 3 if she disrespects.

If E lands, run

If she hits Test of Spirit, just run away and dodge the tentacle hits after.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Try to 1v1 her post-6 with her item spikes and big cooldowns up — she just statchecks you even when you're ahead.
