Katarina

Assassin

Decisive in judgment and lethal in combat, Katarina is a Noxian assassin of the highest caliber.

Strengths

  • Picking up Daggers will significantly reduce Shunpo's cooldown.
  • Try waiting until the other team is distracted with fighting your team, and use Shunpo to teleport into the fray and unleash a devastating Death Lotus.
  • Using Shunpo on an allied Champion, Dagger, or minion can be a great escape tactic.

Abilities

  • Passive · Voracity — Whenever an enemy champion dies that Katarina has damaged recently, her remaining ability cooldowns are dramatically reduced. If Katarina picks up a Dagger, she uses it to slash through all nearby enemies, dealing magic damage.
  • Q · Bouncing Blade — Katarina throws a Dagger at the target that then bounces to nearby enemies before ricocheting onto the ground.
  • W · Preparation — Katarina gains a burst of Move Speed, tossing a Dagger into the air directly above herself.
  • E · Shunpo — Katarina blinks to the target, striking it if its an enemy, or striking the nearest enemy otherwise.
  • Ultimate · Death Lotus — Katarina becomes a flurry of blades, dealing massive magic damage while she channels to the 3 nearest enemy champions.

Team Composition

A suggested 5-lane lineup built around Katarina, based on hero partnerships and role synergy — not win rate.
