How to play it

Dodge her E
The whole matchup rides on her E: step out of the area when she triggers it; if she hits, it's hard, if you dodge, you're safe.
Punish a missed E
Sit behind minions and only all-in when she whiffs her E: that's your window to trade or kill.
Escape her R
Back off when she ults if you can't kill her before the tentacles land: it's worth burning your R for hers.
Never fight at level 6 unless you can bait her ult first or kill her before the tentacles hit you.
