How to play it

Bait her Q
In range she can guarantee her Q: pretend to walk in and back out to bait it, then step up once it's down.
Shove and roam
Shove the wave in and roam: you don't have to win the 1v1, so create pressure elsewhere on the map.
Respect her shield
Avoid trades while her shield is up: wait for it to break, then look to step in.
Never trade into her while her shield is up: wait for it to break before you commit.
