Learn how to play with Katarina with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Katarina gets a takedown, her ability cooldowns are reduced by 15 seconds, allowing her to quickly jump between targets. In team fights, continue engaging after she secures a kill to capitalize on her increased mobility and damage.
Team Fight Skirmish
Position yourself to block enemy crowd control abilities when Katarina uses her ultimate (R). Her Death Lotus deals massive damage but roots her in place and can be interrupted by any CC, making protection crucial for her effectiveness.
Team Fight
After level 6, watch for Katarina's roaming attempts from mid lane. When she moves toward your lane, create aggressive positioning to bait enemies and set up successful ganks with her high burst damage.
Basic Lane Phase
Daggers on the ground show where Katarina can instantly dash to with her E (Shunpo). When fighting near these daggers, position enemies between Katarina and the dagger so they take damage when she jumps to it.
Skirmish Team Fight
Place Control Wards in river and jungle entrances when Katarina is on your team. This vision helps her roam safely while denying enemy vision, increasing her ambush potential and roaming effectiveness.
Basic Lane Phase
In team fights, engage first to bait out enemy crowd control abilities, then allow Katarina to follow up. She performs best when enemies have already used their CC, giving her freedom to use her full damage rotation.
Team Fight Late Game
When Katarina reaches level 6, prioritize ganking mid or following her roams as a jungler. Her Death Lotus ultimate significantly increases her kill potential, even against targets with escape abilities.
Basic Lane Phase
Focus damage on low-health enemies in team fights when Katarina is nearby. Helping her secure takedowns activates her passive, giving her ability resets that significantly increase her team fight impact.
Team Fight Skirmish
Katarina's ultimate applies Grievous Wounds to targets for 3 seconds, reducing their healing. Against healing-focused champions like Soraka or Dr. Mundo, coordinate your burst damage during her ultimate for maximum effect.
Advanced Team Fight
When Katarina collects a dagger, she deals AoE damage in a short radius around herself. Time your crowd control abilities right after she picks up a dagger to catch enemies trying to escape this damage zone.
