Katarina Wild Rift Build Guide

Katarina Build

Katarina will build items that can deal massive amounts of damage in a short amount of time. Because Katarina's skill set is not a prank type. Katarina only needs to get a large equipment to be able to participate in destroying the enemy.

However, in the early stages of the game Katarina is not easy to farm, so the first big equipment must be cheap and bring a lot of magic power. "Infinity Orb" is the most suitable equipment that provides an additional 200 health that is durable enough when performing the skill to fly to the knife. Also provides 15 magic resistance penetration.

When equipped with "Infinity Orb", if you can't kill enemy champions in the same lane, find a way to wander to other lanes and target champions with low health. "Infinity Orb" will deal 20% more damage to champions below 35% health.

The second item I recommend is "Liandry's Torment" because Katarina is basically a very difficult champion to play and has too little health. So in addition to damage Kata also needs additional blood. After all, if you die before you can unleash all of your moves or your health bar is always in danger, then Katarina is not very dangerous.

The next equipment you can depending on the situation to penetrate magic resistance or heavy on magic.

BOUNCING BLADE

Cooldown: 10s

Throws a Dagger, dealing 75 magic damage (75 + 30% ) to the target and 2 nearby enemies. The Dagger then ricochets to the ground behind the initial strike point.

The Dagger's time in the air is the same regardless of how many, times it bounces.

SHUNPO

Cooldown: 14s

Blink to a location near a Dagger or unit, dealing 44 magic damage (15 + 50% + 25% ) to the nearest enemy.

Picking up a Dagger greatly reduces the Cooldown of Shunpo.

DEATH LOTUS

Cooldown: 60s

Rapidly throws blades at the 3 nearest enemy champions, dealing 400 magic damage (400 + 260% bonus + 280% ) and applying 60% Grievous Wounds. Katarina can move and throw blades for up to 2.6 seconds.

Grievous Wounds reduces the effectiveness of Healing and Regeneration effects.

How to play Katarina

Passive pick up Bouncing Blade for very strong dame, sometimes even stronger than ulti. Because when fighting, no one will let you roam.

As a result, your eyes have to constantly focus on finding the position of the knife to get close to optimizing damage. Those who know how to play will know how to choose the position of the knife, you can think of the knife on the ground as a trap that can both let Katarina rush in and have the ability to help Kata escape.

Early game

Hard to farm soldiers. The damage is not really much forcing Katarina to accept the loss of a few CS stats. But you can rest assured that you can go to other lanes looking for a chance to get a kill and Katarina will come back to the game strong.

Mid game

Search and capture roaming enemy champions. Katarina is very good at single target control because Kata is an assassin.

Late game

In teamfights, the goal is to destroy the enemy team's Ad. Note that it is only allowed to rush into the enemy team when most of the CC skills have been used. Katarina's ultimate is very easy to interrupt when being controlled.

Katarina pros and cons

Pros

Mobilize thanks to the Assassination skill, now that the ultimate move can still move, who can stop it.

The ability to shock damage is also large, but just need to time it in and out in combat.

Killing on cooldown will turn Katarina into a fearless meat grinder that won't stop.

Cons

Difficult to play, difficult to spread for new players to play for the first time, there is only feed.

Very afraid of hard control.

Paper blood.

Has no control skills.

Depends on the item.

Katarina counters

Find a way to poke whenever Katarina tries to last hit minions. Interrupts Katarina's ultimate with crowd control. If there is no CC skill, you can flash to escape the effect of the ultimate. Avoid entering Kata's knife-free zone.

Conclusion

Katarina Wild Rift possesses great magic damage and fast cooldown. The skill set deals AOE damage so it's easy to get pentakill. Choosing the best time is when the enemy champion has used at least one skill to help trade damage more smoothly. The way to build Katarina Wild Rift requires a lot of equipment for magic power and magic penetration but you need to balance it with a few defensive items if Katarina is often targeted.
