How to play it
DO
Respect level 3
She's strong at level 3 — respect her E engage and play safe until you're past that spike.
Poke 1-2 & 4-5
Hard poke her at levels 1-2 to bank an HP lead — by 4-5 trades go in your favour and she won't want to fight.
Watch her roams
She plays like a Talon — if she rushes mobi boots she'll walk botlane for a free double, so ping and track her.
DON'T
Never force a trade at level 3 — that's her strongest point; wait for 4-5 when trades swing your way.
