Katarina's Fighting Style

Dreamspitter··3 votes·869 views

Who taught it to her? Abilities like shunpo and death lotus?

Is it Ionian?

I mean her father was a great swordsman and all but...who taught him? The names have distinct "eastern" vibe.

I believe it is coincidence. Katarina was among the first champions released, only a little after Veigar, and back then Riot's design philosophy boiled down to: "does it sound cool? put it in!". At that time Master Yi was the only champion from Ionia, so I doubt the future Noxus/Ionia conflict was even conceived of at the time, otherwise I do not think her abilities would have been labeled so awkwardly.

If she ever gets reworked they might change it.

Personally? I hope for a Shuriman/Arabian style swordsmanship approach.

Considering she's "French" or whatever passes for French like Fiora?

...oh my god I'm an idiot.

So she might have connections to Fiora?

Fiora is Demacian. So... maybe?

Funny I have always thought that Kat and Cassie might be half Shuriman through their mother.

I agree with this. Although it would be cool to possibly see a Katarina -> Zed connection in the future

If I had a say, then I think that Katarina's family might have descended from a line of magi that decided to become assassins. I mean Why else is she listed as Assassin/Mage and deal so much magic damage when most assassins deal physical damage?
