Early game (levels 1–5)

You control the first two levels: your auto-attacks and Command: Attack outrange her early poke, and with no Charm before level 2 she can't punish you for last-hitting, so use your ball on the wave to chip her whenever she walks up. Keep the ball on your body as you CS so a level 2 Charm can't set up a free trade.
