Tips to maximize your impact

Double your Surround Sound
Make Surround Sound (W) your third basic spell: Stage Presence (passive) casts it twice, and the second, cast while shielded, heals your allies.
Beat Drop on a slowed target
Cast Beat Drop (E) on enemies that are already slowed: they're rooted, and those already immobilized are stunned.
Finish with High Note
Save High Note (Q) for a wounded target: its damage grows with the health they've lost.
Send Encore through an ally
Cast Encore (R) through an ally toward the enemies: each champion hit, allies included, extends the spell's range.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

No autos during her Veil
During Jubilant Veil (W), don't attack: she dodges all autos, and so do the allies she touches. Wait for the mist to fade.
Poke her from outside her range
If you're ranged, poke her outside Formless Blade (Q) range: she fights in melee and only gains range after hitting with this spell.
Watch her level
Watch her level in lane: Joy Unending (passive) gives her more XP from minions, so she can have Apotheosis (R) before you hit level 6.
Leave the circle of her Apotheosis
Move away as soon as she casts Apotheosis (R): she strikes around her for 1 second, then the final strike pulls nearby enemies toward her.
