How to play it
- Press early
Kayle is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Katarina reaches you. Never stand where they can.
- Don't chase
Katarina escapes faster than you — take farm and towers instead of running.
- Magic resistance
Katarina deals magic damage — Maw of Malmortius as your 2nd or 3rd item.
When you are in danger
- Full HP or back off
Katarina's burst kills from half HP. No trades under 60%, and buy Death's Dance early.
