Respect

•
Moonlight mark — If you are marked, she can dash to you and still have ready to chase or escape.
•
in groups — The damage increases for every person she pulls. Don't stack with your teammates.
•
attack speed — After she casts any spell, she attacks very fast. Don't underestimate her basic attack damage.
•
Early ganks — She has better setup for her lanes than you do pre-6. Ping your lanes to be careful.

Punish

•
is on cooldown — Aggressively invade her or take the objective. She has no way to stick to you or burst you.
•
shield is used — This is her only defensive tool. Once it's gone, she is very squishy to your burst.
•
She uses without a reset — She is now immobile. Use to stay on top of her and kill her with sustained damage.
•
Dragon Spawns — You take Dragons faster and get stacks. Force the objective to make her come to you.

Wave Management

Post-6

Clear your camps instantly, then look for a lane to dive with . Use the movement speed from to rotate between camps faster than she can.
