Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and Q-E poke combos while Katarina lacks gap closers to retaliate effectively.
- Post-6 you lose all-ins if she lands on you, but you can still win by landing Q to interrupt her combo and kiting with your range advantage.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q-E-auto when she goes for CS, then immediately back off to avoid her E engage.
- Save your Q for when she commits with E, as landing it stops her combo and lets you follow up with full damage.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze just outside your tower range to keep CS accessible while staying safe from ganks.
- Hard shoving is risky as it puts you in an extended position where Katarina can run you down post-6.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your Q for poke when Katarina has E available, as it's your only tool to stop her all-in combo.
- Don't stand in your minion wave when trading, as her Q bounces will hit you for free damage and reset her abilities.
