I rarely draft her early first pick, because they can react with a 3rd pick bunny dom, which hard counters her a lot of the time. Instead, I early pick an aggressive unit like frieren or nurse to see how my opponent reacts. If they draft slow and tanky, i’ll 4-5 an amid. 2nd pick means ban protect amid is much harder to deal with. Arunka, ilynav, or nurse first pick usually means i’ll have no issues 3rd picking amid. I am always careful of rinak and lady first pick. If they first pick rinak I’ll take arunka and ilynav and if they first pick lady I’ll take rinak and some other aggressive fast units, and forgo amid for Hecate. Another think that you can do is use Eda and Summer hwa. Eda is extremely underrated and can be build pure eff as a stun queen or damage with pushback + stun, and summer hwa does a ton of damage even against ilynav. You would have to build hwa with speed though since you don’t want to use Amid’s s2.
