How to play it
DO
Heal her jump
When she leaps onto you with Q, W to heal up through the damage.
Q wins the 1v1
Your Q wins the melee 1v1 most of the time, even if she lands her ult on you.
Manage your mana
As long as you have the mana to W and heal every time she engages, the lane stays easy.
DON'T
Never run dry on mana — the W heal is the whole reason her jump is harmless.
