How to beat Senna as Hwei: the early game

You win 1-2: you hit 2 first and your burst outrange Senna's early Q before her soul-farming ramps, so chunk her and deny stacks off the wave. You reach level two first and your burst out-ranges her early poke, so take that window before her soul count ramps. Have the subject queued before she steps up. Push the wave to deny souls, and track your mana rather than trading with a champion who heals through chip.
