How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge her Q

Her Q is her main poke and burst — sidestep the ball or she chunks you for free.

All-in on Q cooldown

Wait for her to use Q, then commit — with it down she can't stop you and you win the trade.

Avoid the poke

Don't take free poke walking up — respect her range and farm until you can dodge in.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never all-in while her Q is up — eat the ball first and you lose the trade.
