How to play it

Save ult for hers
Hold your R for her R: she has the outplay to dodge your ult if you use it first.
Trade early
Trade aggressively before she buys armguard / seeker's: you're stronger at levels 1-2, so don't give up prio.
Deny Conqueror
If she runs Conqueror, grab a fresh grass at the end of each trade so she can't keep her stacks.
Never waste your ult early: she dodges it, then out-scales you in the fight.
