Matchup plan

Take Exhaust as summoner spell to survive pre-6 and keep pressuring Katarina. Start Doran's Blade for more auto attack damage in trades. Protobelt gives early pressure and mid-game survivability; build it if ahead. If behind or killed, go Liandry's Torment.

Hwei vs Katarina · Mid lane matchup

01

Core game plan

Hwei has long range to push and pressure Katarina. Katarina is weak early; after she uses E, she's vulnerable to poke. Take Exhaust to survive her level 6 burst. Overall favorable matchup.

How a strong Katarina player plays

  1. 1

    E Engage Trade

    Katarina will E onto you, auto and Q to trade, especially after you use your Q, exploiting your vulnerability.

  2. 2

    Q Last Hit Poke

    Katarina will use Q to last hit low minions while bouncing to poke you; try not to let her Q hit multiple minions.

  3. 3

    E Dodge Skills

    Katarina is mobile and will use E to dodge your key abilities, so auto first to test before using skills.
