Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through sustain and poke, as your W heals negate Nautilus damage while Q can interrupt his engages.
- Post-6 you lose if Nautilus lands any CC on Katarina, as your disengage tools aren't enough against their lockdown chain.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W bounces between Katarina and enemies for optimal healing and damage, then follow with Q when Nautilus tries to engage.
- Save E for Katarina's all-ins or to help her escape after trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam with Katarina for mid/jungle skirmishes after level 6, as your R and Q provide excellent setup for her resets.
- Time roams when bot wave is pushing and Twitch is forced to farm under tower.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q trying to poke when it's needed for disengage against Nautilus hooks.
- Never position where Nautilus can R-Q combo you, as Katarina can't save you from that much lockdown.
