How to play it

✓

Respect her ult

Wind Slash executes when you're low: she'll fire it while you're CC'd, so disengage on her ult unless you're clearly ahead.

✓

Trade on her cooldowns

She's cooldown-reliant: trade when you know her abilities are down to get free damage in.

✓

Tabis are a must

Rush Tabis first: they're mandatory here and force her to Wind Slash you earlier to secure a kill.

✕

Never keep fighting while you're low or CC'd: that's exactly when her Wind Slash execute kills you.
