Awesome build, 6 rabadons totally own. THe guy that builds those must be a freaking pro, it's not like you need MS,SP or any defense stats anyway right? And killing bots is very hard right?

About the guide, it rocks. I accidentally took karthus today to a game (he is F2P) and panicked, so rushed here and read throuhg what I could while the laoding screen was up. We lost the game but my stats just rocked, 22,8,20. What I switched was Rylais for a WotA because with all the AoE damage going around, I could keep myself up with just defiling at the middle of the enemy group while spamming Lay waste. Awesome guide

Sometimes13 U are a ****** to critisize archangel. Best and only way to go karthus is Rabadon and 5 archangels. 1400 AP doesnt lie. Lets see 600 dmg for lay waste, 500/sec for defile and 1200 on ulti. Still find archangels useless ?

And guys rabadon+5 angels>>>>>>>6 rabadons

Great guide, but wouldn't glyphs of force work better? Yea you get a bigger lvl 1 boost, but by lvl 6 you have just as much bonus as the 9 potencies

My build (http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/my-book-contains-5-names-120934) is working great, try it. It will give you good survivability early/mid game and the slow from Rylai is most important for early/mid game, bec they dont have much def and your Lay Waste and defile is doin dmg a lot. Even its helping ur team to catch for get some food early to dominate in late game. Catalyst Protector will GREAT GREAT GREAT help u to stay in lane with ur HP and MP bar at full, and ur teleport dont will be needed, so u can pick Ghost. Ghost/Flash is a best combination for surviving and catching. (The speed is very important for harass early game and catching/escaping mid/late (In my opinion is speed most important thing in game ;) Enjoy and please vote for my build :) (not guide)

DaBigSteak:

Well, Karthus is not that strong until level 6, so it is to assure better lasthitting and better harrassin until he reaches lvl 6, where he gets more kills. But Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power also works well :)
