Tips & Tricks
- Katarina wants a combination of the following items: Hand of Justice, Edge of Night, Striker’s Flail, Nashor’s, and Giant Slayer. Avoid building GS and Striker’s together. Make sure Striker’s is paired with HoJ. Outside of those rules, you can typically slam any of these items.
- Split positioning is done to increase probability that Katarina gets to the backline. Keep Katarina paired with your tank on either side.
- Max Arcana is great if found early. Note that Max Arcana is at its best if you have a decent board early so you can farm kills to scale Katarina’s AP.

)Economy Strategy
- Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
- Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
- Level to 6. Roll until stable. “Stable” changes depending on rank, items, augments, composition, and patch, but generally speaking it involves 2-starring your desired 2-cost carry and a tank with items. Major divergence between elos: The lower your elo, the less upgrades you need to be “stable” and thus lower elo players should generally roll less than high elo players on 3-2.
- After your 3-2 rolldown, you should attempt to rebuild your economy to 50g.
- Once you reach 50g (it might be later than 3-5), start slow rolling down to ~52g each turn. Try to avoid rolling to exactly 50g as any unit you want to buy in shop will put you below 50g.
- If you are high HP relative to the lobby, continue slow rolling to 52g each turn. If you are lower HP, you should roll to hit your first 2-cost 3 star on 4-1 or 4-2. If you have to roll below 30g, your placement is usually capped at 3rd or 4th.
- If you are still high HP (70+), you can continue to slow roll. Otherwise, in the majority of cases, you should roll deep for your 3-stars here. If your HP is low, you can even go to 0 gold looking for your 3-stars. If you have your 3-stars and can afford to level to 7 with 10g+, do so.
- Level to 7 if you haven’t already.
- Level to 8 as soon as possible. This may not happen until 5-5 or in some games, stage 6.
- Level to 9 whenever possible. This is rare, but can happen in the games you have a chance of winning.
who ever made this hsould love themselves
Can someone explain why cooking pot is good ? its nice just for the hp stacks on kata or an emblem is good ? battle academia is made with spatula
Executioner emblem is really helpfull, dont have to play kalista lvl6 and health stacking is also good.
The most essential condition is still to be super lucky
(i had arcana snax at 2.1 and had radiant hand & positioned units exactly the same the board up there )
Not op now wtf i came at 8 with all op things in this comp
sounds like a skill diff, kat is broken with conditions
I had a radiant HoJ and ended 7th…
Honestly max arcana is the best for winning out. You’re looking at 70+ AD and this comp is very good at killing Akalis.
Nah this comb is so broken lol and not many are contesting it, which makes it so affordable
Just went 1st place in master twice in a row with this comp, no artifact or radiant. Definitely a comp to keep your eye on
Bumping w/ same message as last comment, Nashors is BIS Katarina now and helps requiring less gloves to dully itemize her.
Updated, although I will note I don’t think there is much difference between the builds. I added a tip saying there is 5 main items you can build on her: EoN, HoJ, Striker’s, Nashor’s, and GS. All of them work, although use your head when combining them together. Also Rabadon’s is fine too I believe, but usually going to use rods on Yuumi. I don’t think the build is overly picky, but needed to update the tips so appreciate it.
Nashor is better than striker now, i’ve tried katarina many times even in patch 15.4 and got some top 1s, rank master 200 btw
never playing kat again got perfect items with dawncore and great augments but kat got bursted down 🙁
Please remove, auto bot 4
dawbreaker with hoj and striker’s flail is much better in the stats now for kat instead of eon
Just played this with Nine Lives and Jayce 3 as a Duo, seemed pretty good, Jayce hits backline and Kat would TP to backline, didnt even cashout the last 2 lives
thoughts on Over 9000 or Not Done Yet if get stage 1 or 2-1?
Over 9000 is quite good — added it. Last certain about Not Done Yet.
This is feeling like a C tier comp, even when I hit everything I still go 4-5th.
agree
delete this shit comp from S tier
XD tried it made it top 7 😀
I feel like most of the times it’s better to push levels with kata 3 and rakan 2
Why does tft academy place like that?
How are you supposed to build and position with Trickster on Kat? I found Kat would wind up inting a lot and bounce back towards my backline after she gets Trickster procced while on their carry.
just won with this lets go :3
