Any tips for Oleander?

So I'm not exactly amazing at fighting games but I have been having fun with using Oleander but was wondering if there were any good tips on using her

She's ranged, and can teleport. You can use her fel Spark ability as a ranged attack, either in a fast, medium, or slow speed (Down + Foward + A/S/D), and she can teleport to get in close or to get away from your enemy (Teleport Foward is Down+Down+A, Teleport Back is Down+Down+D, and Teleport Behind Enemy is Down+Down+S).

Also, you can cross up enemies by using the slow fel spark (Down+Down+A) then teleporting behind them using Down+Down+S. Just remember that teleporting isn't always safe and it can be countered. Oleander's attacks also have a pretty big hitbox as well.

Learn some fighting game basics if you have not.
Everything TheRandomGuy said helps.

Do NOT build magic meter unless you put a resonable distance between you and the opponent and remember she can also do it in air.
To help zone your opponent if you have any magic she can immediately follow up her normal fireball with a magic one.
Her 2b is a very good anti air and one of the most common strategies in the history is to bait jumps with fireballs and that is one place the move shines.
Her magic teleport(down down+D) can be comboed off of but only if the opponent is in air when it connects.

Good luck and have fun.

If you get a combo going but need magic, cut it short when in the air, hit them with an air heavy, jump cancel it and hit magic to charge.
It's safe to charge 1-2 magic like this depending on positioning.
