Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Watch for her W

She can go invisible around a corner and try to burst you as you approach the wave — be careful when you can't see her.

Dodge 2+ spells

You don't win trades unless you dodge at least two of her spells — one dodge is only an even trade, zero is a bad one.

Scale to side lane

You outscale into the side lane — AD Kat wins it at two items, AP Kat at three.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never walk up to the wave when she's off-screen — that's when her invisible burst lands.
