How to play it

Dodge her Q
Her Q is her only poke and her engage: it marks you so she can Lunar Rush in on top of you. Sidestep it and her all-in has nothing to jump to.
Play aggro post-9
Post level 9 you win the 1v1 very hard: as long as you've stolen her R, play aggressive and force the duel.
Watch your mana
Don't trade before 6: trades are even but you go OOM, and running yourself dry hands her the lane.
Never spam trades before 6: even exchanges still run you out of mana and hand her the lane.
