How to play it

✓

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.

✕

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