Katarina Matchups

Hard Counters

Galio★★★

Galio taunt interrupts your ultimate and his magic damage reduction negates your burst.

Pantheon★★★

Pantheon point-and-click stun prevents you from ulting and he out-trades you early.

Diana★★★

Diana can match your all-in and her shield absorbs enough damage to survive your combo.

Favorable Matchups

Veigar

You can Shunpo over Veigar cage and reset on him before he can respond.

Xerath

Xerath is immobile and you can dash onto him for a guaranteed kill at level 6.

Lux

Lux cannot stop your dashes and you burst her down faster than she can react.

General Laning Tips

• 1.Pick up daggers for burst damage resets and use Shunpo to position onto them quickly.
• 2.Roam constantly after hitting level 6 since your resets thrive in skirmishes and ganks.
• 3.Wait for enemies to use key CC abilities before engaging with your full combo.
