so I buy seraphs embrace and zhonyas and literally my whole goal is to stand in the middle of their team with my ring of doom for as long as possible yolo charge straight in pop seraphs after the shields down pop zhonya and the best part is, you're still relevant after you die! assuming you died in the middle of their team, its important that you do never pop ur ult until you die

Karthus has the best after death passive in the game, yo have full access to your kit for 7 seconds like wtf, a tank only stays alive for like 4 seconds and you're here for 7.. not including the time spent being in zhonya and being alive dont forget to spam your Q at every point of this process, even tho it kinda sucks

In order to truly play Karthus, you must die.

play him like an adc but with q's instead of AA's. when you're about to die go stand in their whole team.

Option 1:

-Turn on E -Throw W behind enemies so they can't flee easily -Pepper everyone with Q's -Zhonyas when low on health -Die -Pop one more Q before pressing R -Actually Die

Option 2

-Turn on E -Pepper everyone with Q's -Zhonyas when low on health -Die -Throw W behind enemies so they can't flee easily -Pop one more Q before pressing R -Actually Die

Option 2 is better if your team has a bunch of hard CC that can keep people in place, then you can use your wall's slow to prevent them from running away afterwards.

These answers are probably not what you are looking for. Karthus is all about death, his own and others his yolo damage is stupid.

Go in with E up, use zhonyas/arachangel, try to get as many Q's off as possible. After you die count till 2 then start your ult ---> congratz you just earned a penta.
