Whenever an enemy champion dies that Katarina has damaged in the last 3 seconds, her remaining ability cooldowns are reduced by 15 seconds.
Katarina slashes at all nearby enemies whenever she picks up a Dagger, dealing 40 magic damage (40 (+15
) + 100% bonus
+ 30% (+4.5%
)
).

10/9/8/7s
Throws a Dagger, dealing 75 magic damage (75/115/155/195 + 30%

The Dagger's time in the air is the same regardless of how many times it bounces.

11/10/9/8s
Blink to a location near a Dagger or unit, dealing 49 magic damage (20/50/80/110 + 50%
+ 30%
) to the nearest enemy.

60/50/40s
Rapidly throws blades at the 3 nearest enemy champions, dealing 400 magic damage (400/600/800 + 260% bonus
+ 290%
) and applying Grievous Wounds. Katarina can move and throw blades for up to 2.6 seconds.
Grievous Wounds reduces the effect of Healing and Regeneration effects on 50%.
While cast, Katarina's base movement speed is reduced to 125.
Use this combo to chase an enemy/reposition after using your (R) DEATH LOTUS.
Use (E) SHUNPO, (W) PREPARATION and (R) immediately. As the enemy is trying to escape, use (Q) BOUNCING BLADE, then (E) to the Dagger and AA. Finish with (E) and AA if your target is still alive.
Decisive in judgment and lethal in combat, Katarina is a Noxian assassin of the highest caliber. Eldest daughter to the legendary General Du Couteau, she made her talents known with swift kills against unsuspecting enemies. Her fiery ambition has driven her to pursue heavily-guarded targets, even at the risk of endangering her allies—but no matter the mission, Katarina will not hesitate to execute her duty amid a whirlwind of serrated daggers.
