How to play it

Don't feed her W
She dodges your Q with W then autos, walks forward and procs Electrocute: hold Q until she commits, especially on the scary level 3-4 waves.
Level 5-6 is yours
From level 5 on you win the lane until midgame: play safe through her early spikes and the lane opens up.
Oracle her bush
Grab Oracle around level 7-9 to catch her Q from bush; your E also reveals her for as long as it's stuck on her.
Never let her bait out all your energy: once you're empty she autos, walks forward and procs Electrocute for free.
