How to play it
DO
Dodge her Q
Vault Breaker is her engage — save your E to dodge it, especially through a gank.
Punish the dive
When she dives too deep, kill her, then cycle back for whoever follows up late.
Respect the shield
Her triple-hit passive gives a burst of survivability most don't expect — don't commit thinking she's low.
DON'T
Never waste your E early — you need it to dodge her Q, or you won't survive her gank.
