How to play it

Katarina has an easy time dodging [W]-[E]-[Q] with her (E), so contest only when she cannot use her (E). Step away from where her daggers (Q) land while dealing damage, and use basic attacks to engage when Katarina closes in. Katarina has low health, so chip away at her health repeatedly for an easy kill.
