How to play it

Never eat her fear
Getting feared is 10x worse than any other CC: watch the fear bar under her mana and don't get caught.
All-in post-6
She's very all-inable once she wastes her fear and walks up after 6: her level 6 is only a weak reset ult.
Don't over-E
Her auto is easy to buffer as you E away and gets empowered against dashes: only E in when you're committing.
Never get hit by her fear: it's the one piece of CC that turns a trade into a death.
