Fizz vs Katarina

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early lane pressure to deny Katarina safe dagger setups and limit her roam potential.
Prioritize short trades that end before Katarina can reposition with daggers or channel (R).
Exploit your mobility and burst to punish Katarina's cooldowns and unsafe engages.

Trading pattern

Engage with (Q), apply damage with (W), then use (E) to dodge Katarina's burst or reposition.
Punish Katarina when she uses (E) forward without reset options or after wasting (R).
Keep trades short to avoid her dagger resets and interrupt her (R) channel with your (E).

Danger windows

Respect dagger placements near you or escape paths that enable Katarina's burst resets.
Hold (E) to dodge or disengage during (R) channel to avoid lethal damage.
Avoid fighting when Katarina's resets are available after takedowns or skirmishes.

Early game

Give up minions before level 3 to avoid Katarina's poke and preserve health.
Use early wave pressure to force Katarina off dagger setups and delay her burst trades.
Respect (E) mobility; avoid overcommitting without (E) ready for dodge or escape.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full trade combo (Q+(W)+E), enabling strong burst and dodge.
Level 6 (R) provides a kill threat if Katarina's mobility or crowd control is down.
First completed AP assassin item increases your damage and trade reliability, pressuring Katarina further.

Win conditions

Use level 3 power spike and wave pressure to force Katarina low or out of lane.
Punish Katarina's mobility cooldowns and dagger misplacements with your burst trades.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to threaten all-ins and secure kills before she can reset.

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