How to play it
DO
Respect her Q combo
If you Q on top of her she W's then instantly Q's — walk away or both Q detonations hit and you lose the trade.
Play it slow
Be patient and don't just charge in — play the lane slow until your first item or two core.
Your trade window
After your core items, a single auto lets you hard trade and demolish her in the 1v1.
DON'T
Charge in early before your first item — patience is the whole matchup.
