Introduction
Hello, and welcome to my guide on
Katarina The sinister blade. This in-depth guide will tell you how to improve your play, as well as improving your knowledge with
Katarina. In this guide you will learn team comps, runes and masteries, items, how to farm well with
Katarina and also learning what to do in a teamfight.










The enemy
Gragas is in lane. I
Bouncing Blade and use
Shunpo to close the gap. Following up with
Death Lotus he is about to escape with a few health. I tag him with
Ignite and it picks up the kill as he tries to
Body Slam away.






Runes
Runes






For runes I like to go for Ability Power Quints and Ability Power Blues, to give the extra power in the
early lane. Reds of Magic Pen. to allow me to cut through the defenses early. Finally I split my yellows between Armor and MR. Any variation of armor and MR will work but I prefer to take 4 Armor Yellows and 5 MR Yellows since usually in an AP lane.Masteries
For my abilities I max
Bouncing Blade first, taking points of Sinister Steel in between. Lastly I max
Shunpo, and take points in
Death Lotus at levels 6,11,and 16



When farming with
Katarina there are a few things you need to know. You cant just run up and start auto attacking minions, if the enemy laner has a brain they will start to harass you. Instead try to let the minions push. Then hit use your
Bouncing Blade and Sinister Steel combo to get them. This needs to happen throughout the game. If you cant get close enough to use your Sinister Steel then just farm using your
Bouncing Blade.



Lets take a look at a team comp that can be used to give
Katarina her most deadly potential. We need a team with high CC to allow
Katarina to use her full
Death Lotus.
Lets try this comp:
A
Malphite top will give us the
Unstoppable Force engage with a really hard knockup in that engage.
jarvan4
A jarvan4 will give us the strong knockup as well as the lock down from
Cataclysm.
An
Ashe will give the a strong stun from
Enchanted Crystal Arrow to the target it hits, and slow the targets around it.
Zyra brings a root in her Grasping Root and also a strong team-wide knockup in her
Stranglethorns.
With this comp
Katarina will be able to get a full combo on any target she wants because of the constant CC that the enemy will be facing. All the knockups will allow her to get that full
Death Lotus that every
Katarina wants to be able to get.

In ranked play make sure that the
Katarina pick fits the following criteria.

-
My team has good engage, and strong CC
The enemy team doesn't have Vi/Malphite that can just ult straight to you.
If that is true you should be able to play
Katarina effectively. When fighting do not go in immediately. Instead wait a couple of seconds until you see key CC blown by the enemy team. A
Zyra
Stranglethorns is an example of when you would go in. Right after that is gone, throw out one
Bouncing Blade, then
Shunpo into
Death Lotus. If done correctly the squishy that you went for should be dead. Then continue to use
Bouncing Blade, sinister steel and
Shunpo whenever you get the reset to do so.
