How to play it

Wait for a missed Q
Her Q is what keeps you out: only when she misses it pre-6 is there any opening to commit.
Punish a whiffed Q
If she misses Q before 6, go for a heavy trade or all-in: that's your only real window.
Respect her spike
She's already tricky to kill 1v1 and gets far worse once she finishes Seraph's: take your chance early or not at all.
Never commit while her Q is up: pre-6 your only window is when she misses it.
