Katarina BIS
- Zhonyas over EON
- Other artifacts over Strikers
- Can flex Deathcap over Strikers (NEVER BUILD JG)
Early level 6 Board
When you have enought level 2 units, put in 5 Academia to power up Katarina
Level 6 Board
- Can flex in Jayce or Cait
- When you find Ryze, replace Kalista with Ryze
Level 8 Board
- Jayce would be perfered over Cait
- If Rakan is not 3-Star, make Leona or Garen (if he is 3-Star) the main tank
Power-Up Fruits
Katarina:
- Midas Touch: is good for stage 2, must swap after stage 3
- Crimson Veil: is good for early game, and okay late game
- Trickster: is BIS
- Dark Amulet: is good late game, weak early game
Rakan:
- Unstoppable: disrupt fights
- Pure Heart: heals the whole board
Leona:
- Tank-zilla: If Leona can last long enough in fights, the extra stun helps a lot
- Resistant: Makes Leona a mega tank
Augments
- Golden Guillotine: guarantees a Katarina and it's the best 1st Augment to take (it's a little weak taking it 2nd)
- Execution Emblem: allows you to play the board better at level 6 (can throw in +1 Bastion or Protector)
- Class President: powers up the board a lot
- Last Second Save: is META Augment overall
- Blood Rage: gives Katarina more damage amp
- Heroic Grab: Bag helps 3-Star Katarina, not necessary to take if you think you can hit
- Portable Forge: allows some powerful Artifacts (Katarina items or tank ones are fine too)
Play Styles
Win streak:
- Stage 2-1 Level to 4
- Stage 2-3 try to make intervals of 10 gold (10, 20, 30, or 40 gold)
- If it dosn't hurt your econ, can pre-level to 5 on stage 2-3 (XP will be 8/10) so next turn you have a level 5 shop
- Stage 2-5 hit level 5, if you didn't already
- Stage 2-6 try to make intervals of 10 gold
- Stage 3-2 Level to 6 (can roll down for Katarina 2-Star to stabilize, don't roll past 20 gold or you will be poor)
- After you 3-Star Katarina, hit level 8 as fast as you can to cap your board
Lose streak:
- Don't level up at all on Stage 2
- Can just not use the Power-Up Fruit to guarantee the lost
- Make intervals of 10 gold every round if possible
- Can level up on creep round if too weak to win it
- Stage 3-2 Level to 6 and roll for Katarina 2-Star to stablize
- After you 3-Star Katarina, hit level 8 as fast as you can to cap your board
