Champion Build Guide

Introduction

Hi my name is Gustavo, I am Brazilian and I love to play Karthus on the mid or ADC route. I am not Karthus pro but I play until decently.

Pros/Cons

Pros
-Strong mid and late game
-Really strong in team fights
-Great wave clear
-Very good even after you die

Cons
-Uses a lot of mana
-Need itens to become strong
-Hard lane phase
-Your damage depends on whether you hit your Q

Why Flash and Ghost?

Karthus gains AP based on his movement speed, so whenever you use your ultimate use the following combo:
Spellbinder, ghost, and your boots, and if you have a Zilean on your team, ask him to use his E on you.

Note

If you don't feel comfortable using Mejai's no problem you still have two other build options

Have Fun!

I had a lot of work researching this guide so if you like it please help me and tell me what you think :)
