How to play it

Dodge her wall stun
Never get near a wall when she has Heroic Charge up: the stun into a wall is a massive damage window and can take half your HP.
Bully the lane
Your range and mobility waste her engage tech: you win most trades, and she doesn't scale nearly as well as other tanks, so play aggressive.
Respect her passive poke
Back off when her passive ranged auto-attack is up: it chunks you far harder than you'd expect.
Never fight her near a wall: her charge-into-stun combo there can take half your HP in one trade.
