Katarina Build Guide
Katarina suits players with sharp mechanics who can string resets together off her dagger throws. Ranked mid lane data puts her at a 51.26% winrate and a 6.66% pickrate on patch 16.13.1. She also works in the bot lane for anyone who would rather bring that burst into a duo lane.
Electrocute rewards her quick three-ability combos, and a core of Kraken Slayer, Blade of The Ruined King, and Terminus layers steady on-hit damage over her burst rotation. The skill order is Q first, then E, then W. The build, runes, and matchup breakdowns follow below.
