Lane Phase

Lvl 1-5

→Position yourself at an angle to the minion wave so cannot bounce from a dying minion to you.
→Use and to match her waveclear; if she shoves you under tower, she can poke you freely.
→If she wastes for poke, she is vulnerable to a hard engage since her only defensive slow is on a long cooldown.
→Only engage with when you have enough space to land at least 3 autos, otherwise her wins the trade.

Lvl 6+Power spike

→Never use aggressively unless it guarantees a kill; you need it to survive .

Trading Patterns

Safe Poke

Use through the wave followed by a empowered auto, then immediately press for a fast root and retreat.

Punish

All-in

Activate for movement speed, land and 2 autos, then to root. If she channels , use to dodge and land the final feathers.

Respect

•
bounce — If it kills the minion first, the bounce crits and can take half your health bar instantly.
•
slow — It makes it nearly impossible to dodge the follow-up or jungle ganks.
•
Level 6 power spike — Even if she is behind, a well-placed can win a 2v2 if your is on cooldown.
•
burst — She wins every 1-second trade because of her passive damage; don't trade unless you use .

Punish

•
is on cooldown — Walk up and force an extended trade with while her burst is down.
•
is used — This is her only self-peel. Call your support to hard engage while the slow is unavailable.
•
She is channeling — Use to root her; this doesn't stop the channel but ensures she dies immediately after it ends.
•
passive is down — Auto-attack her once to remove her bonus movement speed, then use the slow/root from your feathers to catch her.

Wave Management

Early

Keep the wave in the middle of the lane. MF thrives when you are under tower or when she can bounce while you are focused on last hitting.

Post-6

Slow push and build a large wave. If she tries to ult the wave to clear it, you can dive her by using to drop turret aggro.
