Learn how to play with Katarina with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Keep pressuring after Katarina picks up a kill — her passive cuts 15 seconds off all her ability cooldowns on a takedown, letting her immediately threaten another target.
Team Fight Skirmish
Hold your crowd control until Katarina channels her R — any hard CC that interrupts casting cancels Death Lotus outright, so protecting her through the channel is critical to landing her full damage.
Team Fight
Prioritize helping Katarina find plays once she hits level 6 — Death Lotus gives her huge kill pressure on isolated targets, and jungle ganks or coordinated roams to other lanes convert this spike into kills.
Basic Lane Phase
Place control wards in the river and jungle entrances when Katarina is on your team — denying enemy vision lets her roam and pick off targets without being spotted first.
Basic Lane Phase
In skirmishes, help Katarina finish off low-health enemies rather than starting on full-health targets — securing that takedown triggers her passive cooldown reset, chaining her into the next threat.
Team Fight Skirmish
When Katarina's R connects, each dagger applies Grievous Wounds for 3 seconds — save your burst for enemies who rely on healing or lifesteal to survive her channel.
Team Fight
Watch for Katarina picking up her own dagger — it triggers an AoE slash around her and cuts her E's cooldown drastically, so expect a follow-up Shunpo soon after and time your crowd control to catch enemies fleeing the zone.
