Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 with consistent Q poke and superior range, forcing Katarina to use potions or recall early.
- At level 6, you lose the all-in if she dodges your E, but win decisively if you land the cage into your full combo.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is to Q poke when Katarina goes for CS, then immediately back off to avoid her E engage.
- When she uses E aggressively, place E cage on her landing position and follow with W-Q-R if she gets stunned.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to deny Katarina minions for E escapes while staying safe from ganks.
- Use Q to last hit and stack AP rather than mindlessly pushing, as this gives her reset opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your E cage for waveclear or minor poke, as it's your only protection against Katarina's all-in potential.
- Don't stand too close to low-health minions as she can E to them and immediately gap close onto you.
