Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Don't Q her shield

Don't use Q while her shield is up — time your Q2 after it dissipates or you waste your poke into it.

Poke her in lane

During laning you poke her down with relative ease — chip her whenever her shield's on cooldown, before she gets items.

Don't dive her

She's incredibly hard to hit up close because of her passive, so poke from range instead of jumping on top of her.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never commit on top of her — her passive makes her nearly impossible to hit up close, so poke from range instead.
