How to play it

✓

Respect her burst

Let her push and respect her burst potential: her WQ combo is the payload, so don't sit where that empowered Q can land on you.

✓

After her WQ

The moment she commits WQ, her burst is spent: that's your window to Shunpo in and go for the trade.

✓

Hug open ground

AP Kat can win the side lane, but only if you stay away from walls, bushes and river: that's where she's most dangerous.

✕

Never fight her next to walls, bushes or the river: stay on open ground or her burst wins the trade outright.
