Some random things:

Sol can run under HCL which is very helpful. Running 6P will be CH into big damage.

If you tag HCL with a f.S, it is CH air hit and combos to BB.

Be mindful of her dives at all times when approaching airborne I-no. Typically it's a free 5K/c.S/WT on IB. VV works too of course.

CH 2D is the best way to discourage Stroke abuse. If they do it in a blockstring you can VV it but remember she can YRC.

Delayed special cancels off 2D are susceptible to HCL, GF YRC will be safe and punish it though. If they autopilot into it after you 2D, run under it and have fun.

Note you can throw her out of ground Overdrive after flash within range. Difficult to time but doable. Useful if they reversal a safejump with it.

Disrespect ambitious dash pressure start attempts from her with 5K. Might as well 6K+HS. 4/6K+HS can be good too if they're doing some cross-up stuff.

CH f.S or 5HS cancel to notes in blockstrings, need to look at this in more detail though.
