Introduction
yo, I am Nyro, a EUW Challenger Katarina OTP, peaking around 1200LP and Rank 16.
I've been maining her since the rework and over the years have become the best Katarina on EUW. Katarina has the most diverse buildpaths and a different build for almost any scenario and this Guide will help you choose the right one
I stream regularly on Twitch, so if you have any question, feel free to ask.
Important: Most of the time I dont pick specific Build/Runes against my lane opponent, but rather take the whole enemy comp into consideration

Pros & Cons

Gameplan
GAMEPLAN
Katarina has 2 Playstyles, AD is more early game and 1v1 focused and AP is more mid to lategame and teamfight focused.
AD GAMEPLAN![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Midgame: go for Sidelanes and look for 1v1's or 2v2 Skirmishes with your jungler, you can take on a lot of Champs, especially with ![]() With the AD build you don't rely on your R ![]() ![]() ![]() Most of the time i would start building AP after 1-2 AD items, since it scales very bad. Lategame: If you are full AD, either go for Splitpush if you can 1v1 the Opponent, and if you started building AP, look for Teamfights, especially for the backline. Be Patient. |

AP GAMEPLAN![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Midgame: After your first Item, you can actually fight people, but still your primary goal is to roam or fight 2v2/3v3. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lategame: Lategame Katarina is very glass cannon, you either 1 Shot someone or get 1 Shot, so play very patiently & wait for someone to engage. If you get rolling you can clean up fights very easily. |
