How to beat Quinn as Yone: the early game

Quinn owns the first levels: Blinding Assault (Q) hinders your vision on a 9-11s cooldown, and Vault (E) dashes to you, briefly interrupts, then leaves her back at max attack range — disengage and re-poke in one button. Respect her range, dodge Q, and farm with Mortal Steel pokes.
