Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to weak early damage and no escape tools against Katarina's all-in potential.
- Post-6 you become heavily favored as your R mobility counters her reset patterns and Q silence disrupts her combos.
How to Trade
- Your trading revolves around Q-auto trades when she goes for CS, using the silence to prevent immediate retaliation.
- Post-6, you can R onto her after she uses E, then Q-W-auto before using R again to disengage safely.
Wave Control
- You should focus on farming safely under tower pre-6, using Q to last-hit when necessary and avoiding extended trades.
- Post-6, you can start controlling waves more aggressively and look for short trades with R engage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never face-check bushes or fight without R available, as Katarina excels at punishing immobile targets with her full combo.
- Avoid using Q on minions when she's in range to trade, as you lose your primary defensive tool against her engage.
