Buy a Level 30 Katarina Smurf

the Sinister Blade


Katarina is the queen of resets. She doesn't play League of Legends the same way other champions do; she plays a rhythm game where every kill gives her more buttons to press. Smurfing on Kat is pure adrenaline-fueled chaos. You can go 0/5 in lane against a competent Kassadin, pick up a random triple kill in a river skirmish when your team didn't even need you, and end the game 20/5. She is the ultimate volatile snowball champion. When you're ahead, you are the single most dangerous champion on the Rift. When you're behind, you're... waiting for that one teamfight where everything lines up.

Why High-Elo Players Smurf with Katarina

Low elo players stand on your daggers. They just do. They don't respect the Shunpo threat radius. They group up in tight clumps, allowing your R and Passive dagger pickups to hit all 5 of them simultaneously. They save their important CC for the frontline tank while you blink around untouched. Once you get ONE reset, the fight is completely over. Your passive reduces ALL cooldowns on takedowns, meaning Q, W, E, and R are all back up. You become a spinning blender of death.

The Level 1 Cheese

🧀 First Blood Strategy

Kat's level 1 cheese is limited. Q the wave and hit the enemy with the bounce for chip damage. The REAL cheese is at Level 2 or 3. The kill combo is: Q (dagger lands behind them), E to the dagger, Auto, W (dagger drops at feet), E back to a minion or forward to the W dagger, Auto, Ignite. This full burst with Electrocute will kill a 70% HP mage from range. Most low-elo players don't respect this and walk into the dagger zone for CS.

The 'Pay-to-Win' Skin Advantage

'Battle Queen Katarina' is the ultimate flex—your dagger color changes with every kill, acting as a kill-counter for psychological warfare. 'PROJECT' has crisp audio cues for dagger pickups and sounds satisfying on combos. 'Warring Kingdoms' creates nice visual clarity on where daggers land. Avoid 'Mercenary' as the particles are muddy and harder to track in teamfights.

When They Ban Katarina

Backup Pick: If Katarina is banned, Akali offers similar mobility and tower-diving potential. Talon provides fast roaming and snowball assassination. LeBlanc is for players who want the blink-burst-escape pattern but on a mage.

Rune Setup

Best Runes: Conqueror is standard for tankier team compositions and extended skirmishes where you need sustain to survive multiple rotations. Electrocute is best for bursting squishies in one combo. Dark Harvest is the greediest choice for pure smurfing—every kill makes your resets hit harder. For secondary runes, Sudden Impact is free Lethality/Magic Pen on every Shunpo, and Treasure Hunter accelerates your item spikes.

Skill Priority

Order:

Q E WMaxing Q is essential for poke/waveclear and for resetting faster. However, many high-elo smurfs put 3 points in Q, then max E for mobility. E max gives you lower Shunpo cooldown, letting you hop around the fight more freely. W max last is universal—W is just for the dagger placement, not the damage. The damage comes from your passive.

Mastering Katarina's Kit

Q Bouncing Blade

Bouncing Blades drops a dagger 350 units behind the primary target. Use this to set up aggressive Shunpo angles—Q-E is your bread-and-butter gap close. The Q also provides brief vision of the target, useful for checking bushes without facechecking.

W Preparation

Preparation gives 50-80% movement speed and drops a dagger at your feet. Use the speed to dodge skillshots, then Shunpo BACK to the W dagger when the enemy commits to trading. It's essentially a free escape built into your aggression.

E Shunpo

Shunpo is an instant blink that applies on-hit effects and resets partially when you pick up a dagger. You can blink to enemies, allies, minions, daggers, wards, and most other units. The difference between a Gold Kat and a Diamond Kat is E target selection—knowing what to blink to and when.

R Death Lotus

Death Lotus applies Grievous Wounds (anti-heal) automatically. It's useful against teams with drain tanks like Swain or Aatrox. You can move slightly during R (less than a Teemo-length) but are effectively stationary. Cancel R early if they flash/dash out of range—chasing is better than channeling nothing.

Matchup Tips

Vs Kassadin

Hard Counter. His magic shield passive negates your poke. His Q interrupts your R. He outscales you hard. Roam bot lane 10 times before he hits 6. Ban him.

Vs Fizz

Skill Matchup. His E (Playful/Trickster) dodges your daggers. E his E—whoever uses their mobility first loses. Bait the untargetability before committing.

Vs Vex

Annoying Counter. Her passive fears you every time you dash. Play safe, wait for her to waste her fear on the minion wave, then engage. Early Merc Treads help.

The Ego Check

WARNING: You are NOT invincible during R. You are a stationary, channeling sitting duck. Stop pressing R the instant you arrive. Set up daggers first. The correct pattern is: E-Q-W (daggers everywhere), THEN R while they are slowed by daggers. Also, stop blaming the jungler when you shove the wave into their tower with 0 vision and die—YOU walked into their jungle. Kat's laning is weak; accept it and roam instead.

When to Queue Dodge

Dodge if the enemy team drafts Kassadin or Pantheon mid. Kassadin's magic damage reduction passive and his Q interrupt make trading impossible. Pantheon's point-and-click stun guarantees he wins every trade. These matchups require you to roam constantly without ever 1v1ing.

Teamfight Role

Flank. Do NOT engage through the front. Wait for the enemy support to use their CC on your frontline. Wait for Leona Ult, Thresh Hook, Nautilus R to be gone. Look for the lowest HP target. Kill them to get the first reset, then assess—can I chain-kill another, or do I need to E outward to safety? Patience is the hardest mechanic on Katarina. Going in too early is why 80% of Katarina players feed.

The 'Disrespect' Build

Heartsteel Katarina (Tank Kat) is a meme and only works because of Shunpo's on-hit application. The REAL disrespect build is Mejai's Soulstealer rush—if you don't die, you win. A fully stacked Mejai's on Kat makes your resets one-shot entire teams. For on-hit Kat, Blade of the Ruined King into Kraken Slayer is hilarious because your R applies on-hits to every enemy around you.

Power Windows

Level 3 all-in potential. Level 6 gives you R for massive AoE damage and roam power. Your item spikes depend on build—Hextech Rocketbelt/Stormsurge for burst, Nashor's Tooth for on-hit, or Lich Bane for tower-taking. The moment you finish your first full item, look to group for dragon fights. That's your time to shine.

Tilt Factor

Spam mastery emote (Ctrl+6) while channeling R. It tilts them harder than your damage does. Roaming bot lane over and over until the enemy ADC types 'mid diff' in /all and ragequits is a valid strategy. Also, flashing mastery after you accidentally E to the wrong dagger and still get the kill is peak Katarina energy.

Safety Tips

Safety isn't an accident. It's a deliberate process. By the time you log in, the account is already 'cleared' by Riot's systems.
