Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior range and poke potential with Q and W abilities, forcing Katarina to farm under tower.
- At level 6, Katarina gains kill pressure with R, but you can still win if you maintain distance and use E for disengage when she commits.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using Q for poke when Katarina goes for CS, then following up with W if she tries to engage.
- Always keep E available as an escape tool and never use all abilities offensively unless you're certain of the kill.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to establish level advantage and force Katarina to farm under tower where she's vulnerable to poke.
- After level 6, maintain slow pushes and ward flanks heavily since Katarina will look for roam opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your E ability for waveclear or poke - it's your only escape from Katarina's all-in potential.
- Don't stand near low-health minions where Katarina can use them as E reset points to gap close onto you.
