How to play it
DO
Dodge her R
Her R is the only way she all-ins you — don't get caught by it and you can't lose the fight.
Rush your Hexcore
Get Hexcore first — once you have it you get free prio and can pressure her.
Side-step her Q
Keep clicking and dodge her Q — perma-eating Noxious Blast is the only thing that chips you out of lane.
DON'T
Never let her R land on you — it's the single thing that turns a fight into a loss.
