How to play it

Dodge her Q root
Her Q root sets up all her damage: keep Cleanse up to break it and you can play pretty aggressive.
Outshove with Hexcore
Rush early Hexcore to outshove her: later she needs both her E and ult just to clear the wave, so you keep her pinned.
Easy to gank
She's really easy to dive and gank: use your shove lead to set up vision and help your jungler invade.
Never get caught by her Q without Cleanse or an escape up: it's the setup for all of her burst.
