Kha'Zix
most assassins counter you as karthus, they will likely try to invade your red buff on first clear so make sure to ward it
Soraka
soraka is a very good synnergy for karthus as they both have global ultimates and can very easily win teamfights

First clear
always start blue -> gromp -> wolves -> raptors -> red -> krugs -> crab
here is my solo full clear on karthus in 3:15, in regular games you should aim for 3:10 with a leash

when can you take objectives
karthus only can solo dragons after lvl 7/8 (also depending on your items) so before that make sure to spam ping your teammates to help you take drake.
