How to play it

✓

Respect her W

Her W gives massive resistances: if you need the damage, kite her while she's inside it instead of forcing hits.

✓

Land 1-2 dodges

Her kit is hard to dodge outright, but landing 1-2 dodges in the exchange is usually enough to win it.

✓

Respect her level 1

She's very strong at level 1 and just autos you down: keep your distance until you've scouted her starting spell.

✕

Never walk up on her at level 1 without knowing her starting spell: she just autos you down.
