  • Search "Scarra Katarina" on Youtube
  • Watch "Scarra" on Twitch.TV

I only play mid as Jayce but I still have some knowledge on how to play Katarina, so here's how:

  • Katarina is best against soft CC comps, so don't play Katarina against teams that have more than 3 stuns, silences, knockups
  • Katarina is not an initiator. If you want to initiate, you can but remember to buy Zhonyas.
  • Katarina is a "clean up crew". Cleaning up the mess of the fight. That's why she always gets the Pentakills lmao
  • Abuse your resets

I know these tips aren't the MOST specific or helpful ones, but I'm not going to explain too much, so you can think beyond that.

Anyone who says to throw your keyboard at a wall for a pentakill, Do not listen to them. EVER. Timing is key on Katarina, go in to early and you die. Go in to late and you won't get a kill or assist for your passive resets.

And if Katarina doesn't get any resets in a team fight, she is as good as dead.

lolking has some great guides to help you with theory, this is one that I really like: Glass Cannon Katarina by Gimme Penta.

And as Aziriously OP said: Timing is key on Kat.
