Rotation
In solo queue, the players will anticipate that you will go top lane. You can choose bottom lane or mid lane too if you are in a pre-made team which most likely has a planned strategy. Let's discuss further the basic rotation for solo queue.
You might want to lane cut to rotate quickly to your jungle area. Just play safe. Clear lane then jungle then clear lane then jungle. When the midlaners rotate to your lane, anticipate their next move so that you will know if you need to join a teamfight, join in invading enemy jungle, or they just rotated to your lane to farm.
After clearing lane and there is no jungle monster available nearby, help clear the midlane especially when the rest of your team is having a teamfight in the bottom lane or they are taking the turtle.
Push the turret if the lane is undefended.

Gameplay Tips and Tricks
- Spam S1 for mov spd & to harass enemy units and heroes.
- She is somehow team dependent. If you are solo top, try to push as quick as possible. Lure enemy team to use 2 heroes to stop you and your teammates should utilize the advantage to push other lanes.
- Retreat before you lose the 2nd HP Bar. Then use your Special Skill to refill an HP Bar.
- Engage in ambush with 3HP Bar in midgame. Roam around the map to help your teammates.
- She is not a good Teamfight hero though she excels in 1v1 situations. Your main role is to actually get objectives. Do split push. Invade Enemy Jungle. Secure turtle and lord.
- There is actually no definite skill combo for her since she also relies on basic attacks. Use skill 2 to disarm heroes especially against basic attack reliant heroes. Use skill 3 when necessary. Use skill 1 if you have less than 50% HP in your current HP bar.
- The most important tactic for her is the Hit and Run. Learn when to retreat so that you can spam your Special skill. Keep in mind the Tip#3. You may poke enemies then run when necessary.
- Use your skill 1 to destroy turrets or get other objectives faster. Maximize that extra 30% damage bonus from skill 1. But again, keep in mind tip#3. You may want to stop using skill 1 if your HP is running low in case an enemy is already nearby to defend the lane.
