How to play it

Wait out her Shroud
Her Twilight Shroud resets a ton of your spells: never fight into it; back off until it drops.
Level 1 cheese
Respect her level-1 E cheese: the start can hit around 200 damage; play safe until level 3, when you can actually contest her.
Play wave + roam
It's a cancerous matchup if she knows what to do: mostly play the wave and look to roam for value instead of forcing lane.
Never fight into her Twilight Shroud: it resets a ton of your spells and you lose that trade.
