How to beat Lady Geist

A blood-mage who spends her own health to take yours.

• 01Pressure her when she’s low from her own abilities.
• 02Break Life Drain’s line of sight.
• 03Stay healthy near her when Soul Exchange is up; it’s worth less against low-health targets.

1. 01Lady Geist wins the farm by ~30.5 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
2. 02Lady Geist deals most damage with abilities. Trade right after they’ve used their main spell, and consider early Spirit Shielding.
3. 03Lady Geist has sustain (Life Drain). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
