Katarina Build Guide by 1337azn

Hybrid is the way to go, I already build it in a similar fashion but yours may help me lane longer with early spell vamp.

its a really good build specially on late game when u r fed or mid game its gna be ownage hurts without mentionin gna give good ulti n nice dmg incase ur ulti in cooldown or spells

Not bad, but the mejai is still great if you can save your stacks, and I prefer the abysal scepter (magic penetracion + surviality) instead the void staff, unless you are against heavy magic tanks.

really so good and I liked very complete
if you got any miss fortune I will thank you

I like it, really i do, and if you are patient, i will have my own hybrid build releasing momentarily.. talking like 2-3 days. Mainly because i test stuff for a week or so first. But yeah, the build is viable. 2 gunblades is a bit much... i won't vote yet, because i have to test, but if this is the best build i could find, i will +1 it and not post one, Fair?

Nice Build i will try it :D now more useful

I'm not gonna make my own build because I am lazy and I am really bad with kat (Well not bad but I haven't played more than maybe 20 games with her total.), but I have pubstomping the **** out of everyone with this build.

Boots>3 Health Pots>Hextech Revolver>Hextech Gunblade>Sorc Boots>Rylais Crystal Scepter>Hextech Gunblade/Zhonyas

R>E>Q>W

I have played 6 games, having a hard time against my mid 3 times. Kennen, Gragas, and an enemy Kat utterly destroyed me, but as soon as I finished the gunblade I'd come in and wipe the floor :)

3 other times I had gunblade at like 11 minutes and it was gg.

I want to try a pure AP build badly though as well now that all 3 of her skills scale off it.

Just a little tip I've found from playing kat to make harassing easier. If you press W -> Right click on them -> Q on them -> E on them and run away, it will activate killer instincts, throw blade, shunpo to them and instantly auto attack, then you can run away. The cool part about this is the killer instincts procs on whatever skill hits first, which in this case is the shunpo. So you get the blade, shunpo and auto attack damage all at once, plus you get a damage reduction and a quick escape. Perfect harassment on squishies like Ashe and Teemo. Excellent build, I was experimenting with Guinsoos earlier and its fun to do when you are stomping and want to take down a turret quickly

Anyone got any tips for kat vs kat? I went up against a kat who started with a dorans shield maxing BB first I guess and she dominated me after like level 5. I think she went Q>E>Q>E>W and after that I didnt stand a chance. I finished my gunblade and was able to out harass her finally.

very nice detailed build. Coincidentaly, before looking at this guide, I had about the same mastery, runes, and item build you have.
However, the only problem i run through in the game is the low hp for the hextech-rush-build.
