Abilities (What to Watch For)

Ability	What You'll See	What It Means For You
	A small heart icon appearing above a target's head when hit.	deals bonus physical damage on the first attack to a new target. She will try to cycle targets between you and minions to maximize her damage per second.
	A bullet that strikes one target and bounces to a second target behind it.	The second hit of deals increased damage and crits if the first target dies. Position yourself diagonally or far away from low-health minions.
	Hearts appearing under her feet and a sudden burst of movement speed.	Passive grants move speed that is lost when taking damage. Active grants attack speed. Tapping her with any damage removes her passive speed, making her easy to catch.
	A circular area on the ground filled with falling bullets.	deals magic damage and slows. It is usually used to set up a bounce for or to keep you inside her .
	A large cone-shaped barrage of bullets accompanied by her laughing.	is a channeled ability that deals massive damage over several waves. She cannot move while casting it. Interrupt her with CC or move laterally to escape the cone.

Respect

!
The bounce crit→If you stand behind a dying minion, the bounce can take 30-40% of your HP in one hit during the early lane phase.
!
Short trade burst→A simple Auto + + Auto combo procs and PtA, allowing her to win almost any short trade in the bot lane.
!
Objective zoning with →In Dragon or Baron pits, her can cover the entire exit, forcing your team to either tank the damage or be trapped.
!
Rotation speed from →She can return to lane or rotate to a jungle skirmish much faster than most ADCs, often creating a numbers advantage before you can arrive.

Punish

+
channel→She is completely stationary while ulting. Use this time to land skillshots or hard CC to cancel the channel immediately.
+
passive is down→If you damage her, she loses her bonus move speed for 5 seconds. Use long-range poke to 'break' her strut before your jungler ganks.
+
Low mana from spam→Many MF players spam for poke. Once her mana is below 20%, she cannot cast , making it the perfect time to all-in.
+
Missed or wasted →If she uses on a minion and fails to get a bounce onto you, her trade potential drops significantly for the next few seconds.

Laning Tips

•Never stand directly behind your own low-health minions. Move to the side so has no bounce path to you.
•Pick supports with hard CC that can be applied from range (Leona, Nautilus, or Thresh) to reliably stop .
•She wins short trades, so aim for extended all-ins where her reset value is lower compared to your sustained DPS.
•If she builds Lethality, rush early armor (Plated Steelcaps) to significantly reduce the damage of her and .
•Watch her mana bar carefully; has a high mana cost and she will often go OOM trying to poke you out.
•In a 2v2 engage, try to damage her first to remove the move speed, making it harder for her to kite back.

Teamfight Warning

⚠Avoid fighting in tight jungle corridors where you cannot walk out of the cone.
⚠Always save one piece of hard CC (stun, silence, knockup) specifically to interrupt her .
⚠Be wary of her 'Black Cleaver' or 'Serylda's' power spikes, as will shred your entire team's armor.
⚠Do not clump together when engaging; a well-placed into combo can wipe a team in 2 seconds.
⚠She has no dash or blink; if your front line can get past her initial burst, she is very vulnerable to being dived.
