How to play it

✓ DO

Block her E

Do not fight her without minions — never charge your Q without a wave around to block her E, or she interrupts you.

R her second R

Hold your R to interrupt her second R — cutting off that second dash is your best moment to punish her.

Grasp tank build

Go Grasp + Shield Bash, max W, and rush Tiamat into Kaenic Rookern — Heartsteel is also fine.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never fight her without minions around — with no wave to block her E she interrupts your Q and punishes you.
