How to play it

Stay off walls
Her E punishes you against terrain: hug the open lane so she can't pin you to a wall.
Respect her Q
Her Q chunks you: don't do anything stupid or trade greedily into it.
Don't interact, farm
You can't win the interaction: cosplay Ornn, farm safely and scale up.
Never fight her near a wall: she'll charge you into it and lock you down.
