How to play it

✓ DO

Stay off walls

Her E slams you into a wall for a long stun — don't trade or stand near terrain.

Save E to block

Hold your E to block her Q2 or her E engage instead of eating it.

Bait her W

She can block your W leap with Steadfast Presence — don't throw it out blind.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never blindly W into her — her W blocks the dash and wastes your engage.
