Learn how to Katarina counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Move away from Katarina's daggers on the ground — these allow her to blink to them with E, dealing area damage in a 340 unit radius and significantly reducing her E cooldown by up to 96%.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Save your CC abilities to interrupt Katarina's R channel — stopping her ultimate drastically reduces her damage output and puts it on a long cooldown (75/60/45s based on level).
Team Fight Skirmish
When Katarina roams, push the wave into her tower instead of following — this punishes her by making her lose minions while reducing the risk of an ambush.
Lane Phase
Harass Katarina with ranged attacks when she approaches to last hit, but maintain a safe distance — her lack of range makes her vulnerable to poke damage during laning.
Basic Lane Phase
Fight in open areas and maintain distance between team members — Katarina's abilities deal area damage in a medium-range radius, making grouped targets especially vulnerable.
Team Fight
Look to engage when Katarina's E (Shunpo) is on cooldown — without her 725-range blink, she has no escape tools and becomes significantly more vulnerable.
Advanced Lane Phase Skirmish
Be extra cautious when Katarina reaches level 6 — her Death Lotus ultimate provides significant kill pressure with its area damage to up to 3 champions simultaneously.
Basic Lane Phase
Engage Katarina immediately after she uses her W — the dagger takes 1.25 seconds to land, creating a window where she has limited damage options if her E is also on cooldown.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Katarina's R ability lights up when an enemy champion is in range (550 units), even if they're not visible — this reveals she's nearby and preparing to engage.
Advanced Team Fight
Focus Katarina early in teamfights before she can get takedowns — each kill or assist reduces her ability cooldowns by 15 seconds, enabling devastating chains of abilities.
