How to play it

✓ DO

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.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to all-in her early — her Passive makes the kill nearly impossible and you just eat poke.
