Playing as Miss Fortune

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Double Up off a dying minion

    Fire Double Up (Q) at a dying minion in front of a champion: if the shot kills the minion, the bounce onto the champion always crits.

  2. Switch targets

    Switch targets often: Love Tap (passive) adds damage on each new target, and lowers the cooldown of Strut (W).

  3. Position with Strut

    Activate Strut (W) to get in position before Bullet Time (R): you instantly gain its max move speed bonus, plus attack speed.

  4. R into clumped enemies

    Cast Bullet Time (R) on enemies who are CC'd or bunched up in a chokepoint: it's a channeled cone, and each wave can crit.

Playing against Katarina

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from her daggers

    Stay away from her daggers on the ground: when she picks one up, Voracity (passive) hits every nearby enemy, and Shunpo (E) lets her blink to it.

  2. Trade after her Shunpo

    Trade right after Shunpo (E): it's her only blink, and it has a 12 to 8 second cooldown, less if she picks up a dagger.

  3. Save your CC for her Lotus

    If you have CC, save it for Death Lotus (R): it's a channel, and interrupting it stops its damage.

  4. Don't count on your healing

    Don't count on your healing during Death Lotus (R): each knife applies Grievous Wounds, which reduces healing received.
