Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 trades due to short range and lack of burst against Katarina's mobility and Nami's sustain.
- Post-6 you win extended fights if Nautilus lands Q on either enemy, as your R range advantage and stealth resets become decisive.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q stealth for repositioning after Nautilus engages, not for initiation, then follow up with E-empowered autos.
- Focus Katarina first in trades since she's squishier and more dangerous if left alive.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early levels to hit 6 first and deny Katarina roam timings, but avoid overextending without vision.
- After 6, maintain freeze near your tower to force enemies into Nautilus hook range.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use Q aggressively without Nautilus abilities available, as Katarina can easily all-in you during stealth cooldown.
- Don't auto-push mindlessly as it gives Katarina free roam opportunities.
