How to beat Miss Fortune as Aphelios: the early game

Levels 1-3 are even: MF pokes with Double Up bouncing off minions and Love Tap stacking, but you match through paired-gun autos if you refuse to line up the bounce. Last-hit from behind the wave, avoid standing next to your lowest minion, and don't let her Strut-fueled poke stack up. Love Tap punishes you for standing still, so move between autos even while you are only farming. Double Up needs a minion lined up with you, so stand off that diagonal and the poke stops existing. Once Make It Rain has been spent and her Strut has been reset, the wave is yours to take without paying for it.
