How to play it

Never get walled
Her wall stun followed by a full combo can take half your HP bar immediately: stand in the middle of the lane and never let her charge you into a wall.
Level 6 kill window
With Sheen and level 6 up, you can actually kill her: but only if her ult is on cooldown or you're confident enough to Flash her R.
Stand behind creeps
Stay behind minions so her Q (Hammer Shock) pushes the wave into you instead of hitting you directly, and respect her passive poke early.
Never get caught near a wall against her: the stun-into-combo can burn half your HP in one trade.
