Respect

dashes — She can cover huge distances if she chains abilities together.

counter — Hitting her shield makes her slam deal way more damage to you.

suppression — It is a point-and-click blink that sets up her full combo while you can't move.
•
slow — If you are slowed, you cannot outrun her slam.

Punish

•

•
Missed slam — She loses her primary damage tool; chase with for extra autos.

Level 1 — She only has one dash. Punish her for every minion she takes with .
