How to play it

✓

Don't trade level 1

Her level 1 is extremely strong: skip early trades and just farm safely.

✓

Skip her ult

Stealing her R gives you AD, not AP: generally avoid it, though it can be a nice execute.

✓

Respect her lane

This is a hard matchup: don't force fights, farm through it and look for outside help.

✕

Trade into her at level 1: her early is extremely strong.
