Ability Sequence Order

> Sinister Steel > >
You should max out Sinister Steel first due to his low Cooldown and high Damage.Maxing Bouncing Blades first would give you a bit more range but it has a much higher Cooldown.You should max out Shunpo last because it is a mobility Spell and doesn´t do alot of Damage.As with nearly all Champions,max your Ultimate Death Lotus when possible.

Items

Item Sequence

Sorcerer's Shoes 1100
Hextech Gunblade 3000
Rabadon's Deathcap 3600
Rylai's Crystal Scepter 2600
Void Staff 3000
Zhonya's Hourglass 3250
Provides a good amount of Magic Penetration which will increase your Damage output early on
Let´s Katarina deal Physical Damage while she has to wait for Cooldowns and slows the targeted enemy when activated
Increases her Damage output massively,it´s the Infinity Edge for Casters
Slows enemies with every of Katarina´s Spells to counter one of her Weaknesses (NO CC)and will make her more durable
Allows her to block the enemys Burst if focused and will give Armor agains AD Carrys
Adds to her Late Game Penetration and will increase the Damage against Tanks/Bruisers drasticly

!! NOT THE BUY ORDER !! JUST AN EXPLANATION FOR EACH ITEMS !!

Teamfights

In Teamfights, Katarina should wait for most/all the enemy CC to be on Cooldown.Then she can unleash Power by trowing her Bouncing Blades,followed up by a Shunpo, Sinister Steel and then Death Lotus for "Tons of Damage" - Phreak :D

-

Summary

Katarina is an remarkable AP Carry.Her Teamfight Strength is incredible,and with the right Tactics,you will drown in Pentakills.
I would be happy if you could give me a +1 Rating if you found this guide helpfull and write me in the comments what I could do better/change.I will hopefully see you in my next Guides and never forget ...
