How to play it

Survive her ult
At 6 with Ignite she bursts you hard: if she lands her full R you're dead 99% of the time, so dodge as many needles as you can.
Outscale on items
Fight her after Spirit Visage + Bramble Vest to fend her off 1v1, and once you hit Navori you challenge and win the 1v1 hard.
Short trades only
Before your spikes, play slow and keep trades tiny behind your E shield: Q + W + auto + E and no more, or she ults you down.
Never drag out a trade before your spikes: go past Q + W + auto + E and she ults you dead.
