How to play it

✓

Respect her W

Her W reflects every knife of your ult: as AD you can oneshot yourself, so hold R until it's down.

✓

All-in on a dodge

Bait a spell first, then all in: like all mages, the trade flips hard once she's whiffed.

✓

Sidestep her Q

s to avoid the poke and keep your HP for the all-in.

✕

Never ult carelessly as AD: her W returns the knives and can oneshot you.
