Playing as Karthus

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Aim for isolated champions

    Aim Lay Waste (Q) at a champion away from their minions: if the blast hits only one enemy, it deals much more damage.

  2. Wall before your combo

    Place Wall of Pain (W) in their path before your combo: anyone who crosses it is slowed and loses magic resist.

  3. Keep playing after you die

    After you die, keep casting your spells: Death Defied (passive) keeps you in spirit form for a while, and you can still cast Lay Waste (Q) and Requiem (R).

  4. Requiem for the finish

    Save Requiem (R) to finish off wounded enemies, often right after a teamfight: it hits every enemy champion wherever they are, after a 3-second channel.

Playing against Yunara

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her prayer bead

    Dodge Arc of Judgment (W): the bead slows you, then damages you every second, and it reaches 1150.

  2. Short trades

    Take short trades: each Yunara auto charges Cultivation of Spirit (Q), which then gives her attack speed and bonus damage.

  3. Engage outside her Transcendent State

    If you can engage, go in while Transcend One's Self (R) is on cooldown: outside her Transcendent State, she has no dash, only the speed of Kanmei's Steps (E).

  4. Spread out while her Q is active

    When Cultivation of Spirit (Q) is active, spread out from your allies: her autos then spread to nearby enemies.
