Playbook
Stay away from terrain edges — Hookshot needs a wall to grapple to for her main engage.
Punish her hard before she completes her first item spike; she has almost no early kill pressure.
Save a hard disengage or cleanse for the moment she lands her isolation ultimate.
Common Mistakes
Standing near a wall she can Hookshot to engage from.
Trading into her true-damage combo without tracking Adaptive Defenses' shield.
Fighting her 1-v-1 once her ultimate zone is already active.
