How to play it

✓ DO

Respect her range

her Q lets her close on you fast, and she can very easily 100-to-0 you if you overstep.

Bully level 1

Take W at level 1, walk up and bully her with Shield Bash + Grasp before her passive is online.

Fight passive-down

Only trade when she has no passive up — that's your window; with it up, respect her and back off.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to 1v1 her with her passive up — she can 100-to-0 you.
