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 Miss Fortune

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't stand behind low minions

    Don't stay behind a low-health minion: if Double Up (Q) kills it, the bounce that hits you always crits.

  2. Cut her speed with a small hit

    Hit her regularly, even with a small hit: Strut (W) only grants her passive move speed after a few seconds without taking damage.

  3. Go in if you can

    If you can engage, get on top of her: Miss Fortune has no dash or leap, only the speed from Strut (W).

  4. Interrupt her Bullet Time

    If you have CC, save it for Bullet Time (R): she channels in place, and interrupting her cancels the remaining waves.
