How to play it

Respect Q stacks
Only ranged-auto her at one Q stack or less: trade into stacked Snip Snip and she wins the exchange.
Trade after her E-Q
Bait her E-Q onto the wave, then short-trade with Stormraider's Surge: that's your real winning window.
W-zone trick
Push so she farms under tower in her W; you can't target her inside it, but a melee Q on a minion at the edge can catch her: only if you're 100% winning it.
Never keep trading her once she has more items: keep HP high and push in her face instead.
