Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 easily with your Q poke and auto attack range advantage over Katarina's melee limitations.
- At level 6, you maintain the advantage through your ultimate's mobility and safety, though you must respect her all-in potential if you miss charm.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is to poke with Q whenever she goes for CS, then look for charm opportunities when she's forced to engage.
- Always save your charm for when she jumps in with her E, as landing it guarantees a winning trade.
Wave Control
- You should maintain slow pushes to keep the wave in favorable positions while poking her down with Q.
- Avoid hard shoving as it gives her free roaming opportunities, which is her main strength in this matchup.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your charm on minions or use it for waveclear when Katarina is in range to engage.
- Don't face-check bushes or overextend without vision, as her reset potential can turn ganks into double kills even when you're ahead.
