How to play it
DO
Dodge her Charm
This is 100% a skill matchup — dodge her Charm and you win, get hit and you don't.
Commit big combos
Always go for your full combo when you catch her out of position.
Build a bit tanky
Take Mercury's Treads and something like Rod of Ages so a stray Charm can't delete you.
DON'T
Never get hit by her Charm — it is the entire matchup.
