How to play it

Sidestep her E
Dodge her E by sidestepping: the second cast links to the mark and stuns you, and that stun is what sets up her whole all-in.
Spike at 6
You're safe until 6: from there you statcheck her down through Q and Maiden damage while Steelcaps keep you too tanky to kill.
Fight on your ghouls
Stand on top of your ghouls so she can't cleanly Q them, and when her Q is on cooldown kite with your cage to outspace her.
Never raise ghouls out of nowhere: summon them only to push a wave, or you just feed her free Q resets off them.
