How to play it

✓ DO

Bait her Q

Play it like Orianna — bait out her Q, then step up and punish the cooldown. Rushing boots makes dodging it much easier.

Your kill window

Your only real kill pressure is when she has no Flash and overextends — catch her with your W and finish with ult.

Cleanse vs CC jg

If her jungler has hard CC, take Cleanse — otherwise you'll perma-die to every gank.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never skip Cleanse into a hard-CC jungler — you'll perma-die to every gank.
