tends to be easy after you get used to it. The she throws are similiar in their mechanic to 's, althrough they are slightly harder to avoid. Try to dodge them like Sion's - move aside when she comes close to minions. Her basic attacks shouldn't hurt you too much.

If you go for her, be sure to do it in exactly that way:

-

- she will you right there; if she didn't, follow on her and keep attacking, if she did:

- hit her with a basic attack and refresh with

- once she goes to your 's further range, use it

- the root wears off at this point, and you had dealt more damage to her, but she is also slowed, which means you can try chasing, or provided she's at enough low health, finish off.

Do not start with boots, get yourself 2x + pots or  + pots. Be sure to finish ASAP (her  seems to wear off in a blink of an eye with them), and if she doesn't get any armor, go for  right then.

When she casts her thing, you can abuse the pull bug (which you surely know about), but since it's quite unfair, you should instead try to pull slightly earlier so instead of pulling her on massive distance, you'll keep her airbourne long enough to prevent the recast, which is legit.

If you went for Beads, you can use them later for a, or , if you fancy.

Master the steps above, and she becomes an easy matchup.

For, also do not get boots. Pick up + pots or  + pot. Stay far when not farming to avoid poke. When you're 100% sure she's about to, go for a pull, you should get her just in time. Then, do the similiar combo steps as against Lissandra.

Get Boots of Swiftness quickly, and if she doesn't get armor, Brutalizer is your next step. Be sure to purchase some potions to keep up with the poke.

I assume she ults herself before you can finish her off. Here's the trick:

- get her to low health, be sure to keep your ready to cast

- when she reaches enough health to be taken down from Decimate +, cast both in a quick burst. Be sure to move slightly away to get the bonus damage. In most cases, it's so sudden and unpredictable that you should hit just in time. Just to mention, it's a combo you should use every time it's possible, to prevent enemies from flashing away, but it's far more important in this matchup.

Don't take against her, as you might need spell advantage to dominate, which means  or  are handy.

And, ... Sorry to disappoint, but... I have faced this matchup only very few times, and he kicked me hard in most cases. I can't provide anything useful there.
