Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Focus on farming safely and using (Q) poke to chip Katarina before level 6.
Maintain medium lane pressure without pushing to avoid giving Katarina roam windows.
Prepare to leverage (R) poke post-6 to control fights and limit Katarina's resets.

Trading pattern

Take short trades with (Q) and autos, preserving (W) for repositioning rather than engaging.
Punish (E) when used forward without reset options by following up with (Q) and (E).
Use (R) poke after level 6 to soften Katarina before she can safely engage with her ultimate.

Danger windows

Respect Katarina's daggers near you and her (R) channel for high burst potential.
Avoid fights when (W) is down, as escape options against her mobility are limited.
Be cautious if Katarina has used cooldowns and is ready to reset from a takedown.

Early game

Use (Q) and autos for short poke trades, avoiding extended fights before your first item.
Hold (W) for escape against Katarina's all-in attempts, especially when her daggers are aggressive.
Avoid pushing the wave to deny Katarina easy roam opportunities and keep lane control.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), shifting lane control to repeated poke and safer trades.
First completed damage item significantly increases your poke threat and trade reliability.
Mid-game item spikes enhance your poke damage, pressuring Katarina's all-in attempts.

Win conditions

Farm to item spikes, then use (R) and mixed damage poke to control mid-game fights.
Punish aggressive dagger setups and (E) engages without reset paths using (Q) and (E).
Maintain spacing and preserve (W) to survive Katarina's all-ins and force unfavorable fights.

Tip: For Corki vs Katarina, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
