Tips & Tricks

  • 1.Passive daggers on the ground deal massive damage — E (Shunpo) to a dagger to pick it up and burst instantly.
  • 2.E resets on kills and assists; wait for resets before re-engaging rather than diving in first.
  • 3.Q + E + auto + W is the basic trade pattern; pick up the dagger that lands behind the enemy.
  • 4.R (Death Lotus) channels and hits nearby enemies — use Zhonya after channeling or when focused.
  • 5.Roam constantly after level 6; Katarina snowballs extremely hard off early kills in side lanes.
