How to play it

Dodge stacked Q
Q (Deceive) to dodge her Q once she has three or more stacks: at one or two you can just facetank it, but a full snip hurts.
Just farm safely
You can't protect yourself with boxes: she W's out of the CC, so let her push and farm with W, and expect to need jungle help or you fall behind in CS.
Damage needs her Mist
Your clone and boxes deal no damage unless you're inside her W, so when she Mists, Q inside it to make your damage actually land.
Never rely on boxes to zone or protect you: she just W's to sidestep the CC, so they buy you nothing.
