Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Avoid Essence Bomb, then pressure Lady Geist while she has spent health to cast it. If Life Drain connects, break the tether by moving out of range or behind cover. Land Barrage hits from a position that lets you get away; each hero hit increases your damage. Save Flying Cloak for the way back to your team.

Mid game · Walkers

Keep your distance when Lady Geist is low and Soul Exchange is ready; she can swap her health with yours. Break Life Drain’s tether by getting out of range or behind cover.

Late game · Patron

Finish Lady Geist from range when Soul Exchange is ready. If she uses Soul Exchange on your teammate, protect them while they are low on health. If Affliction has its final upgrade, apply it before the enemy’s next healing attempt, then use your remaining attacks to threaten a kill; Affliction’s damage itself is nonlethal.
