How to play it
DO
Dodge her E
Her E only stuns when it slams you into terrain — hold the open middle of the lane and it's harmless.
Take over at 6
You win the 1v1 once you hit 6 — play the early clean, don't get stunned, and you take the fight from there.
W blocks your leap
You can't leap out of her W, so buy the mobility (Ghostblade or Eclipse) to escape it another way.
DON'T
Never fight or stand near a wall — a stun into terrain loses you the fight outright.
