Hextech Gunblade is a crucial core item. You can aim for burst damage with an Electrocute AP build or sustained damage with a Conqueror AD build. While her laning phase can be weak, snowball by securing kills with jungler synergy after level 3. Weave auto-attacks between skills for efficient damage. Pantheon is a strong counter, so be cautious. Team support and jungler synergy are vital; don't fall into the trap of thinking she's an 'easy win' champion.

Tip

Avoid engagments early-game, but you can try to deal damage utilizing [Q]-[E] later on when you have purchased items mid-game. Keep in mind that Ahri will always aim her (E) right after Katarina uses her [E], so be sure to move after using [E].
