How to play it

✓ DO

Don't eat his W

AP Kat wins the side lane as long as you dodge his W — step out of Parallel Convergence before it detonates, because the stun is what turns your all-in into his kill.

Drag him to tower

Bait his E onto you, then dash or Flash under your tower on the exact same frame — his dash snaps him back to you under turret for a free kill.

Match your trades

On Electrocute go for short trades whenever his Q or E is down; on Conqueror you can commit to the long trades instead.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never commit a trade while standing inside his W field — the stun is the one thing that flips the side lane in his favour.
