How to play it
DO
Respect her W
Play careful early — before 6 you have no boxes online and her W is the commit you can't answer, so hold back and farm.
Boxes at 6
As soon as you hit 6, play around your boxes — drop them and turn when she uses W, then all-in once she's feared.
Max W first
Max W (boxes) first in this matchup — more boxes on a lower cooldown is what lets you answer her every time she commits.
DON'T
Never trade toe-to-toe with her before 6 — without boxes down you lose the straight fight.
