How to play it

Deny her Q resets
Use your Q to finish the low-HP minions she'd jump to: deny Bladesurge before she can reset it onto you.
Rush early Bramble
Take an early Bramble Vest to blunt her sustain: if she finishes Wit's End you will never kill her 1v1.
Stolen R combo
If you steal her R, cast it then Flash: it resolves where you land for a faster combo.
Never try to 1v1 her without Ignite: she crushes you at level 1 and again once she finishes Botrk.
