How to play it

Bait her W
Start the trade with Q: if she uses W on it, that's your cue to jump; if she doesn't, hold your W until you see hers.
Jump with E-W
Once her W is spent, E onto her and W: she's an immobile mage with no way out.
Level 2 spike
Stay healthy at level 1, then look for heavy trades from level 2.
Never jump on her before she's used her W: that's the hit that turns your all-in around.
