How to play it

Dodge her E
Avoid her E at all costs: the only time to eat it is when you can turn it into a committed all-in.
Bait her ult first
Her ult cancels your R, so only look for an all-in after she has already ulted: otherwise she stomps you.
Survive level 1
Play safe until your first three abilities are up: her level-1 W spam is strong before you have your full kit.
Never look for an all-in before she has cast her ult: her ult cancels your R and she'll just stomp you.
