Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-2 you match her range and deny free trades by respecting her E, which is her only hard setup this early. Farm at max range and W-auto her if she steps up without her dash. Keep the wave neutral so she can't crash and use her mobility to roam. Don't walk into her spirit-realm zone carelessly.
