How to play it

✓ DO

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.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never fight her near a wall — she'll charge you into it and lock you down.
