How to play it

E her stun
Dodge her stun with your E: Flash Frost is what lets her land her poke and combo on you.
Dodge poke, just farm
She's really hard to kill early because of her Passive: avoid her poke and focus on farming safely.
Wave-clear at 3 items
AP Kat lacks the damage to kill her until three items: until then, QEW the wave and dash out.
Never try to all-in her early: her Passive makes the kill nearly impossible and you just eat poke.
