How to play it

Dodge her scream
Use your E to avoid her E: getting knocked into a surface or eating the full-charge scream is what kills you.
When to kill her
Go in once her scream is spent: she's actually squishy without the armor from her ult and the damage resist from her E.
Pre-ult her ult
If she lands her R on you, pre-ult before she arrives and proc your shield before the stun so you keep control with most of your HP.
Never trade into her scream: the full charge can one-shot you and gives her 70% damage resist plus a heal.
