How to play it

Bait her ult
Only all-in when her R is down or you can dodge it: otherwise she ults you backwards out of the kill.
Kill after 6
Dodge her ult and she's killable, and once you hit Riftmaker you destroy her in the sidelane.
Don't E into W
Don't dash E while her W is up and don't trade into her shield: both just eat your damage.
Never commit your all-in while her R is up: she knocks you straight back out of it.
