Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Ahri

Even

Take Ignite + Cleanse if unconfident in dodging charms.

Dodge charm with W movement speed to win trades and all in's. Do not use Death Lotus when she has her charm as it will interrupt the cast.

Akali

Even

Recommended secondary runes: Resolve (Second wind and Overgrowth/Unflinching)

Take Ignite + Exhaust

Bait out Q's because it has a high energy cost for the first 3 levels of the ability (130/115/100). If she uses Shuriken Flip do not use Shunpo directly behind her until she has almost finished casting the ability because Shuriken Flip has a hitbox behind Akali.

Anivia

Even

Annie

Major

Take Ignite + Cleanse. Easy to kill pre-6 but hard to kill post-6. Be careful if she has 3 stacks on her stun because she can Q you then E herself while her Q is mid-air for an instant stun. If she has 4 stacks do not all-in or trade.

Aurelion Sol

Even

Azir

Major

Cassiopeia

Major

Bait out Cassiopeia W because it grounds you. Dodge Q's because it makes her E deal extra damage. If you turn your champion away from Cassiopeia before you use Death Lotus you will not get stunned.

Diana

Major

Ekko

Even

Try to kill him before level he gets his ultimate.

Fizz

Extreme

Recommended secondary runes: Resolve (Bone Plating and Overgrowth/Unflinching). Take Ignite + Exhaust and Start Dark Seal + Refillable pot

Galio

Even

Ignite + TP is recommended in this matchup if you take flash because he roams a lot with his ultimate. Take Conqueror into this matchup ALWAYS.

Heimerdinger

Even

Irelia

Major

Do not trade with her when she has 4 stacks of her passive. Do not stand next to low minions, she can Q to them and E you and it will take a large chunk of your health.

Kayle

Extreme

End the game before she hits level 16. Easy matchup otherwise.

Kassadin

Even

My permaban. Start Long Sword and go Blade of the Ruined King first item instead of Nashor's Tooth. You can also go the AD build into Kassadin if you want to shut him down even harder.

Gwen

Tiny

Low threat in lane but strong duelist with a good 1v1.

Lissandra

Major

Take Ignite + Cleanse. Get Mercury Treads if there are other CC threats on the enemy team.

LeBlanc

Major

Dodge her chain.

Lucian

Extreme

Start Dark Seal + refillable. Hard to kill and hard to gank if the Lucian is good at their champion, get a lead from other lanes and roam with your jungler. Take Ignite + Exhaust.

Lee Sin

Major

Get a lead from other lanes, you will never beat him in a 1v1 or trades in lane. Start Dark Seal + Refillable.

Orianna

Major

Start Doran's Blade + 1 pot. Don't take too much poke levels 1-3. Try and solo kill her level 3 with Conqueror.

Pantheon

Extreme

Start Cloth Armor + 4 Pots. Unplayable matchup in my opinion, ask for ganks and get a lead from other lanes.

Qiyana

Major

Start Doran's Blade + 1 Pot, 1v1 is winnable if you have exhaust. Do NOT take poke from her Q's level 2 or she will all in you level 3. Take Ignite + Exhaust.

Talon

Major

Start Doran's Blade + 1 Pot, 1v1 is winnable if you have exhaust. Take Ignite + Exhaust. Can also go Resolve secondary with Bone plating if you prefer.

Tristana

Extreme

Another unplayable matchup. Just try and get a lead from other lanes. Go Ignite + Exhaust and Doran's Blade + 1 pot and try and kill her level 3.

Twisted Fate

Minor

Go Teleport + Cleanse or Ignite + Cleanse, Start Doran's Blade + 1 Pot.

Veigar

Tiny

Probably the easiest matchup for Kat. Start Doran's Blade + 1 Pot.

Vel'Koz

Even

Viktor

Even

Can go Resolve secondary with Second Wind if you prefer. Start Doran's Blade + 1 pot.

Vladimir

Extreme

Very volatile matchup. If you don't solo kill him before level 6 the game is probably lost because of how hard he scales if he's even or ahead. Start Doran's Blade + 1 pot

Xerath

Even

Start Doran's Blade 1 pot. Dodge his E with your W movement speed when you trade or all in.

Yasuo

Major

Take Ignite + Exhaust. Start Long sword + refillable pot, rush Blade of the Ruined King.

Yone

Major

Take Ignite + Exhaust. Start Long sword + refillable pot, rush Blade of the Ruined King.

Zed

Major

Take Ignite + Exhaust. Start Doran's Blade + 1 pot. Can go Resolve secondary with Bone Plating if you prefer. He always goes behind your champion when he uses his ultimate.
