How to play it

✓

Don't eat her Q

Her Q poke is most Kataras' all-in signal: get chunked by it and she commits, so don't take it for free.

✓

Punish her E

When she Shunpos onto a dagger her E doesn't reset: it goes on a 2s cooldown, so that's your window to trade or E onto her.

✓

Respect daggers

Her daggers are most of her damage: only stand on them if you're baiting her into a fight.

✕

Never stand on her daggers unless you're baiting her in: that's just free damage feeding straight into her combo.
