Kat full build help...? Not sure what to swap for gunblade...

AMADEUSdotEXE·Jun 8, 2017·2 votes·545 views

So i looked online (and asked around on here about it) and found that on Op.gg is a priority item on Katarina now.

I really like what it does for her but I'm not sure what item to take out of my normal build. (normally i did not run Gunblade...)

I've been thinking about building , , , or , , and finally , with obvious boots.

Which Item should I get rid of? (thats 7) I really like** Luden's** and Rylai's on her ...? But i know it likely has to be one of those unless i decide not to build a defensive item in place of the hp that Rylai's gives me?? [zombie-brand-mindblown]

You really really don't need rylais, if there is a item to take out its that one.

I agree with CrazFight. Rylai seems like a crutch when you really want to increase your assassination.

id agree with TSM CrazFight

you dont need the rylais... i dont think it helps her in any way. and if you have both banshees and zhonya's you should have enough defense .

Here is basically the best Kat build. Katarina item 3146 item 3020 item 3155 item 3157 item 3135 item 3089

imo item 3285 is replaced by gunblade, way too snowbally/squishy of an item. item 3116 there are just better items for Kat item 3151 the pen and health is really useful early, i get this if i dont need one of the others items. item 3146 too good of a spike 99% off the time item 3155 I dont like banshee, you're going to get hit by alot, and its just gonna pop something not useful. Hexdrinker is a great laning item and is super gold efficient. item 3157 basically core, often cant teamfight w/o it. item 3135 when people got like 80+ mr. item 3089 when they dont have 80+ mr or final item. COuld get ga instead. http://www.probuilds.net/champions/details/Katarina

item 3001 what about this over banshees or hexdrinker ?

considering the cdr, health, and 10% more magic damage she would always be in range for the passive

I've been testing that alot actually, but the damage early off of it isn't more than an item 1052 , late game it could do more than a item 1058 .

If you're getting a MR item late, then that would be the best choice, early or midgame then its hexdrinker or visage.

i dont understand the hexdriner at all... considering it provides no health... when abyssal provides cdr, health, mr and makes you do 10% more damage... and of course you wouldnt rush it but... i think its more viable over hex

just my thoughts.

You can name off stats but what we're looking at is gold efficiency. Kat doesn't really need the cooldown, we're paying 266.67 gold for it. A shield is basically health :P

item 3001 vs item 3155 2800 gold vs 1300 gold. 300 health vs 110 - 280 (based on level) magic shield 60 mr vs 35 mr 20 ad is more damage than 10% more magic damage early game.

In a situation where hex is a good rush, its really good.

item 3155 Hexdrinker base stats are 102.31% gold efficient. When taking magic damage below 30% Maximum Health, Hexdrinker gold efficiency gets increased up to 159.74%.

item 3001 Abyssal Mask is 90.6% gold efficient without its aura.

item 3065 Spirit Visage is 104.88% gold efficient, without its full passive.
