OMG Thank you very much for posting my art! ;w; I like to draw Karthas in cute mode X'D

Your guide about Karthus is very certain! =3 Generally I prefer exhaust and scaling AP glyphs, and armor seals for wild AD Assassins e3e


Np it's pretty cool and cute so it's only right more people should be able to see it and yeah exhaust and those runes can be very powerful on Karthus. :3

Thank you for this guide, it's very useful, though it has some mana problems but, after all, nothing is perfect. I've just bought Karthus and this guide really helps me. +1 from me.

One more question: Does Rylai's Crystal Scepter's passive stack with your slowing abilities? Thank you in advance!


I'm glad you enjoyed the guide. I'm not sure if it stacks with Karthus' wall however I do know that if you hit one target with his q while you have that item, it will slow for 35 percent instead of 15.

Seraph's Embrace not core?


You don't necessarily need a Seraph's Embrace. It just happens to have awesome synergy with Karthus. But there are some high-damage builds out there that don't go Seraph's Embrace or Rod of Ages.

Seraph's Embrace not core? Problems.
58% win rate with the item is something, dude, and RoA isn't the only mana item you should get. You almost always get Deathcap, Seraph, and THEN RoA (and of course at some point your sorc shoes), and then it's situational from there, with the choices being Zhonya's, Void, and Rylai's, and of course your other situational items.
But seriously, Seraph should be in that build, probably replacing Rylai's or Zhonya's (Void is better than both).

I just cant stand not to see Seraph's Embrace as a core. It's not even debatable.

You should replace Barrier with Heal regarding the changes after Patch 4.5!


After I did some more testing, I found that heal was better than barrier in most cases and have changed it to be one of the main summoner spells. Thanks for contributing and helping improve this build. :D

Runaan's Hurricane is never useless either because it gives you attack speed.


Then you realise that even Rabadon's Deathcap is better than it is.


hmmm, adc is probably my worst role so I wouldn't be able to say to much about that item, though I've seen plenty good adc's carry with that item in their build. A time and a place for every item, I suppose.

I don't think its that black and white, if you catch what I mean. Void staff isn't core in every situation, maybe most, but not every. Also I don't think abyssal is ever useless, even if the enemy team is full ad this item still helps with lowering their mr, and helping any other ap teammates do more damage, though if they are full ad I've stated to switch abyssal with zhonyas. Another pro for void is the range, and another pro for abyssal is the mr, which if I didn't rush last match against that lb mid, i'm sure we would have lost. I don't believe any item in this game is completely useless, probably one of the main reasons why I made this build was to show people to not be afraid to stray away from those cookie cutter builds.
