Playing as Katarina

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Pick up your daggers

    Pick up your daggers in trades and teamfights: Voracity (passive) then hits every nearby enemy, and each dagger picked up lowers the cooldown of Shunpo (E).

  2. Shunpo to your Q dagger

    After Bouncing Blade (Q), blink to its dagger with Shunpo (E): it lands behind your target, and picking it up triggers Voracity (passive).

  3. Hit everyone before the kills

    In teamfights, hit as many champions as you can before they go down: when one of them dies, Voracity (passive) sharply lowers all your cooldowns.

  4. Death Lotus after their CC

    Cast Death Lotus (R) once the enemy CC is used: it's a channel, and a single CC is enough to cancel it.

Playing against Diana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her crescent

    Dodge Crescent Strike (Q): without the mark, Lunar Rush (E) keeps its 22 to 14 second cooldown and she can't recast it.

  2. Play hard before she hits 6

    Take trades before she hits level 6: without Moonfall (R), she has no pull or slow to keep you in melee range.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when she dives: Moonfall (R) pulls in nearby enemies and hits harder for each champion pulled.
