How to play it

Bait her Q3
Wait until she Qs toward you and spends her Q3: don't get caught mid-combo before then, because once her Qs are empty she has to run.
E her point-blank
React to her Q3 by E'ing point-blank: it lets you land a full combo and forces her to run with no Qs left; buffer W too if you're fast enough.
Cage with W
Play around your W: if she Q3's in, box her in and kite her; if she Q3's out of the cage, step inside it.
Never drop your W cage before she's spent her E and Q3: she'll just dash out of it and the trade flips on you.
