I think the best build for kata is the ruby crystal first to have the bonuse 180 health then building it to a haunting guise ? , then get the sorcerers shoes , and then buy the items that you would like for kata , i think this is a good build because you you have bonus health a good first item , 40 magic penetration making you dominate for the first part of the game, hope you guys like.

I just don't understand one of your choices why 1 mastery point in Mental Force over Veteran's Scars .

No matter how I look at it 1 AP < 30 HP

btw... dont get me wrong. I did vote up. i was just making a suggestion. Include the boots of lucidity as a choise if the enemy team isn't cc heavy

I have been playing katarina for a long time and when i saw ur build i was really suprised. U have made exactly the build i always have been using. Exept the fact i go for boots of lucidity. The mercury treads is a bad choise in my opinion because AP kat uses her abilites and doesn't do really a lot damage after her ability combo. If kat gets cc'd during her ultimate it doesn't matter how long it is. The ultimate ends. I think that boots of lucidity gives kat more beneficts. But that's my opinion

Great build! Only one I use cause I dislike soulstealer. Love the revolver early game.

EDIT: For a lower lvl like me (15ish), would it be better to go down the def tree or the off tree first?

@static, well its a replacement due tot he new patch. heads alternative...

Good build. I just went 30/3/17 with it. Glad that you can explain your ideas in a convincing manner.

Great guide man. I strated to use Kat a few days ago and tried your others builds. I generally play tanks/off tanks or ranged characters and is very difficult to me to not get killed with assassins like Kat.

This hybrid build sounds great to me.....ill try it generously as soon as i get home.
