How to play it

Answer her R
Her ult is easy to land once she's close, but its short cast time lets you Flash or Stopwatch/Zhonya's out.
Fish max-range Q
Poke with your farthest Q when she can't use both dashes and you aren't overextended.
Her W is readable
Terrashape needs a wall, brush, or river and can't cast from center lane, so you can predict her dash.
Never linger near walls when she has a gapclose and ult: that's a free full-duration R.
