How to play it

✓ DO

Don't stand on daggers

Laning phase, don't be a goofy gamer and stand on her daggers — that's the free empowered damage and reset she needs to punish you.

Cancel her ult

At level 6 you win the all-in easily — just save your ult to cancel her Death Lotus when she channels it.

Mind the level-3 gap

You shit on her levels 1-2, but when your E is on cooldown near level 3, play a bit safe or she'll punish you really hard.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never stand on her daggers in lane — that's the one thing that turns an easy matchup into a lost one.
