How to play it

✓

Dodge her Q

Getting hit by both Q daggers makes the lane very hard to play: if the first one connects, do everything to dodge the second.

✓

E her while she ults

Her dogs go untargetable when she ults: that's your window to land E straight onto her.

✓

Survive level 1

Play safe level 1 until you know her spell: her Hail of Blades + Ignite cheese can chunk you 70-80%, don't lose the lane to it.

✕

Never int the lane fighting back through her level-1 Hail of Blades + Ignite cheese: you can drop low and still be fine.
