There are virtually no pictures for reference, I think building something for mana regen is fine but it needs to be an AA staff as opposed to an unholy grail. I'd like to see lane matchups or a list of counterpicks. Its a thumbs down for me...... for now.

after you update this for S3 and make some more adjustments PM me, I'm happy to change my vote if most of this criteria is met.

Great guide, love the build! You do a great job explaining everything, however you need more large pictures. Other than that well done. Remember to always look in expanding your ideas presented for future views and what not.

This is fine for beginner Karthus players. For advanced karthus players (like myself), this guide has some small problems. PM me if you want me to help you correct them.

the only problem is unless you grab Tear of the Goddess at the start, then that bonus 1k mana will take a while to get. If you do the math for it the fastest you can possibly get it, if you constantly cast, is 12 and a half minutes. But yes ive tried a bot game with 4 of those and had 1200 AP... not practical but fun for just messin around imo

nice guide, you appear to know your stuff.

Solid guide man i reallly liked it, and im a prettty good karth, but for true supernovas, you gotta sell everything bu deathcap, RoA, and boots and buy three Archangel staffs, gives you 1000+ AP and over 1000 damage on the ult ;) try it out it carries late game sooo hard

I just went 25-1-18 with this build. This was my 3rd time playing karthus and after going negative twice in a row I was just going to give up on this champ but this guide made me actually start maining karth. Thanks alot man.

Thanks for the upvote! I had a trashier guide i made earlier. I cleaned it up, changed the guide, and added a second build then reposted this one and got rid of the old one. I'll probably release a vid soon on how to play Karthus effectively.

looks great

Great guide! I prefer the basic guide but i'm new to karthus so im not that good yet. The mana regen is really nice to have as well as the magic resist. It makes it easier in the start of the game.

For a guide from a new author it's quite impressive, +1.
