Where it thrives (5-comp fit)
- Catchnatural · 80%
- Attackworkable · 30%
- Splitforced · 20%
- Katarina deletes the target the moment someone is caught. Enough Attack and Split sits in the kit to fight front-to-back when the enemy forces it. Passive (Voracity) refunds 15s of ability cooldowns on takedowns and triggers bonus slashes/Shunpo cooldown refund on dagger pickup.
Kit quirks
- Passive (Voracity) refunds 15s of ability cooldowns on takedowns and triggers bonus slashes/Shunpo cooldown refund on dagger pickup
- Shunpo (E) blinks to daggers or units, chaining resets for extended combos
- R (Death Lotus) is a channeled AoE ultimate hitting the 3 closest enemies with mixed physical/magic damage, usable as both reset fuel and teamfight nuke

Duo playbook
- + Yuumi (Bot/Support)
Yuumi's W attach grants on-hit healing to her host, and Katarina's E, passive, and R all count as on-hit — built as an AD fighter (Kraken/Blade of the Ruined King/Death's Dance/Jak'Sho) rather than AP, she becomes extremely hard to kill in extended skirmishes once both are a few items deep.
