How to play against Lady Geist

Combo: Lady Geist stacks Malice on you (each stack slows you and increases your damage taken), swaps health with you using Soul Exchange (5.5m range; tier 2 also silences enemies within 25m), then lands Essence Bomb.

Punish window: Soul Exchange has a very long cooldown (220s base). Once it’s spent, she can’t flip the fight again soon. Also punish her after she pays 30% health for Essence Bomb.

Beware: While Soul Exchange is ready, don’t stand within 5.5m of her at high health. Anti-heal crushes her Life Drain sustain.
