Katarina Build Guide

Katarina rewards mechanically sharp players who can chain resets off her dagger throws, and mid lane ranked data has her at a 51.26% winrate with a 6.66% pickrate on patch 16.13.1. She’s also viable in the bot lane for those who want to bring her burst to a duo lane instead.

Electrocute punishes her fast three-ability combos, and the Kraken Slayer, Blade of The Ruined King, and Terminus core adds sustained on-hit damage to her burst rotation. Skill order runs Q, then E, then W. Full details on the build, runes, and matchups are below.
