How to play it

✓

Dodge her poke

Her Crescent Strike (Q) is both her poke and her all-in leash: avoid it as much as possible, since eating it lets her dash straight onto you.

✓

Respect her W

You cannot trade her while Pale Cascade (W) is up: bait the shield out first, then take the trade in the window after.

✓

Your kill window

Before 6 you basically can't win a straight trade: your real chance to kill her is with a big lead or when her W and R are both on cooldown.

✕

Never trade into her while Pale Cascade (W) is up: before 6 that is simply a fight you lose.

Katarina vs Diana in Mid lane is a hard lane on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: her Q (Crescent Strike) is the poke that leashes her onto you, dodge it and her all-in falls apart.
