Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Respect her W

When she W's onto you as you back off, don't eat it for free — turn and auto her so the trade is as even as you can make it.

Never initiate

With Electrocute you can fight back when she trades you, but you can't start the trade — never E in on her, only counter-punch when she commits.

AD side-lane spike

AD Katarina wins the side lane once she has 2 items — that's your real path to punishing her, not the lane trades.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to initiate a trade on her — you can't start one, you can only fight back when she comes to you.
