Aurelion Sol vs Katarina

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Focus on farming safely and scaling into a strong mid-late game threat against Katarina's early burst.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Katarina easy dagger setups and limit her roam potential.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 when Katarina's mobility and burst spike are highest.

Trading pattern

Trade with (E) into (Q) poke when Katarina moves to pick up daggers.
Punish (E) if used without a reset path by stepping forward with poke.
Respect (R) channel by disengaging or spacing out to avoid burst all-ins.

Danger windows

Katarina is most dangerous when daggers are near you or your escape paths.
Avoid trading when (R) is available and can channel without crowd control.
Be cautious if Katarina uses (E) aggressively without resets, as it may bait you forward.

Early game

Use (E) into (Q) to clear waves quickly and prevent Katarina from setting daggers.
Avoid all-ins before level 6; Katarina's burst and mobility outmatch early trades.
Use (W) to reposition and keep distance from (E) engage attempts.

Power spikes

At 75+ star stacks, upgraded (R) boosts teamfight impact; play for stable farm and fights.
After completing Rylai's, pressure waves and trades confidently with improved damage and control.
Respect Katarina's level 3 dagger setup and level 6 (R) ultimate as major all-in windows.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure by farming safely and using (E)+(Q) to control wave and poke.
Deny Katarina dagger setups by managing wave state and punishing her mobility cooldowns.
Reach late game where upgraded (R) and Rylai's enable decisive roaming and teamfight presence.

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