How to play it
DO
Don't force the 1v1
A straight 1v1 with her is hard to win — don't commit to an all-in expecting to close it out solo.
Bait her overextension
She chases well, so use that against her — bait the overextension into a gank or an outplay with your clone.
Take W for push
Prioritize Jack in the Box for wave push in this matchup.
DON'T
Never force a solo all-in on her — you probably lose the straight 1v1.
