How to play it

Don't eat his W
AP Kat wins the side lane as long as you dodge his W: step out of Parallel Convergence before it detonates, because the stun is what turns your all-in into his kill.
Drag him to tower
Bait his E onto you, then dash or Flash under your tower on the exact same frame: his dash snaps him back to you under turret for a free kill.
Match your trades
On Electrocute go for short trades whenever his Q or E is down; on Conqueror you can commit to the long trades instead.
Never commit a trade while standing inside his W field: the stun is the one thing that flips the side lane in his favour.
