Early Game Ganks are essential to do this build correctly. Try switching lanes if you are going against tanks, ask your teamates to let you get last hits. (it will be worth it) If not, when going for a kill Shunpo>Exhaust>DeathLotus>Bouncing Blade. Press 1 while casting Death Lotus and right as your target is about to get out of your Bouncing Blade range throw it! Even if your ult it still casting, i've gotten countless kills from the Bouncing Blade criting and hitting very hard when they are lit.
Everytime a wave of minion comes Press Killer Instincts and then throw Bouncing Blade, it will do alot of dmg to the minions and you can then shunpo and time your auto attacks to get last hits on the rest. When waiting for last hit you might have skills up, I recommend using shunpo and throwing your blade to clean it up. In team fights go for last hit, don't just stand like and wait for it but keep an extra skill up. I personally snipe to get them lit, by using the Killer Instincts and Bouncing Blade combo. Light up your targets before ulting, it will help in the long run because your ult will get more kills.
More things you can do to help -
Time your attacks well on minions, sometimes wait until they are almost near death then attack.
In Teamfights use all your skills but try and keep death lotus, once they are near 75% use death lotus.

It's good to light people up so use this skill whenever it's up.



Shunpo and use this, with enough AP you can blow people up like they're paper.

Sniping is how you weaken them up for the kills, bounce Bouncing Blade off minions that are close to the enemy champions. Keep sniping them until they are around 75% then Shunpo, Exhaust and Ultimate them. Hopefully by the time they are about to run out of your ult range you can throw Bouncing Blade to finish it off if they have not died.
If you would like further explanation well here it is.

Why would you get a
Banshee's Veil?
A Banshee's Veil will help to keep your ult from not being interupted, let a tank lead and get stunned so you don't have to.
What if I want more DPS
Read the DPS Section, it will help you build.
I heard Katarina was nerfed, does she suck now?
No, she is still a great champion some may argue but I will add gameplay soon.
Why get a
Abyssal Scepter?
This can be replaced, but this is good if you are going against a magic champion I
would recommend grabbing it so you are not scratched.
