Katarina Build Guide by ilke994

First game with this build= 26/5/13

***in awesome

Just a quick update for you, if you don't mind :)

TnA's using a little tweaked runepage now. He calls it an "offensive runepage"

Greater Mark of Scaling Attack Damage - reasoned with AD scalings on Q and R, as well as easier last hitting.
Greater Seal of Armor - defense against auto-attack harass mostly. Also helps to lower junglers' damage a little.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power - for more AP/more damage
Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed - as always, lovely MS :)

Also, he usually gets Kage's Lucky Pick before Hextech Revolver (for the gold flow). You might want to specify that.

Other than that, you're pretty up-to-date :)
gj!

Want to see an in-depth competitive LeBlanc guide? Come by and check mine someday ;)

Keondre's creation ;) Check her Signature Shoppe!

Gonna test myself and then update, thanks :)

hi^^ very good guide, i tried it and even though i'm not yet a pro in this game i did very well :)

there's only one flaw which is katarina's flaw actually, since most of the times i lane against champions with cc skills and even if i try to surprise them, sometimes i get stunned silenced etc so i'm thinking about geting banshee's veil when the ennemy has many cc champions!

do you think it's worth it ? if yes when buy it exactly ? just at the beginning right after the shoes or at late game ?

thx in advance^^

I'm so happy this guide got to 1st place again...
As a Kat player, seeing a "top guide" that tells you to max Shunpo, buy cdr boots and rush Rylai hit 1st spot just makes me want to bash my head against the wall.

Good guide helped me a lot and vastly improved my game play. Here is a screenshot if you need more pictures to vouch.

+ Rep me and ill +rep you :D

I don't do rep business :D

Updated to Tiensi's current strategy, might be away a bit due to upcoming surgery :)

I'm very sad that Tiensi changed his Marks for AD/level... I'm pretty sure Mpen gives more damage...

Also, two of your chapters have 'One sinister calling' in their title. You might wanna change one to make sure you are not too repeating yourself :P.

Also, for the Deathfire Grasp explanation, you might want to actually explain what is the purpose of buying that item instead of saying 'It's so good buy it :D!'.

AP Master Yi, AP Tristana, Katarina are all champions that want a lot of single-target damage because when they get a kill, their cooldowns are refreshed. Since Deathfire Grasp gives more single target damage than Rabadon's Deathcap, it's a pretty good choice on Kat.

Rabadon's will still give you more Area of Effect damage and that's why you will still see Tiensi sometimes get Rabadon's and not Deathfire. I think that if you are not going to be able to kill an enemy with the Deathfire -> Hextech -> Bouncing Blades -> Shunpo -> Autoattack + Ignite combo, it's probably not worth it to get Deathfire.

If the enemy has too much CC, it also might be a better idea to get Deathfire because it makes you less reliant on your ult.

My AP Xin Zhao guide is on the way!

Just a suggestion, but have you ever tried moving the points from Havoc into Mental Force? 3 AP is probably better than 1.5% damage which does like nothing :P
