Abilities

Edit

Voracity

EFFECT RADIUS: 340

	Innate: Takedowns on enemy champions within 3 seconds of being damaged by Katarina reduce her abilities' current  cooldowns by 15 seconds.
	Innate - Sinister Steel: Whenever Katarina retrieves a Dagger, she uses it to slash around herself, dealing 68 − 240 (based on level) (+ 75% bonus AD) (+ 55 / 66 / 77 / 88% (based on level) AP) magic damage to enemies struck and applying on-hit effects at 100% effectiveness to all of them, as well as reducing Shunpo's current  cooldown by 78 / 84 / 90 / 96% (based on level).
	Daggers take 1 second to land, and will disappear after being on the ground for 4 seconds.

Notes

• Voracity's cooldown reduction will still take effect even after Katarina dies.
• The Dagger's area of effect indicator is displayed even before it lands, although Katarina may not slash until it has. This can be targeted by Shunpo.
• Daggers will still deal damage but not apply on-hit effects if dodged. They cannot be blocked nor can they be missed while Katarina is blinded.

Edit

Bouncing Blade

TARGET RANGE: 625 EFFECT RADIUS: 625 CAST TIME: 0.25 COOLDOWN: 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 / 7

	Active: Katarina throws a Dagger at the target enemy that bounces to up to 2 nearby enemies, dealing magic damage to each target.	Magic Damage: 75 / 105 / 135 / 165 / 195 (+ 30% AP)
	The Dagger then lands on the ground 350 units opposite from where it struck the target.
	The Dagger bounces to targets regardless of having sight of them or not.

Preparation

CAST TIME: none COOLDOWN: 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 / 11

Active: Katarina tosses a Dagger into the air above her current location, becoming ghosted, and gaining  bonus movement speed that decays until it lands after 1.25 seconds.

Notes

• No additional details.

Edit

Shunpo

TARGET RANGE: 725 / 775 CAST TIME: none COOLDOWN: 14 / 12.5 / 11 / 9.5 / 8

	Active: Katarina instantly blinks to the target location around the target non- ward unit or Dagger, dealing magic damage to the nearest enemy in range and applying on-hit effects at 100% effectiveness.	Magic Damage: 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 (+ 50% AD) (+ 25% AP)
	Shunpo resets Katarina's basic attack timer.
	Upon blinking, Katarina remains unable to act via a cast time for 0.15 seconds.

Notes

• If Katarina Shunpo's on an ally, any attack command she is given during its cast time will be negated, and every movement command will be delayed by 1 second (starting at the start of the cast time).
• Shunpo should be an instant ability but it has extra logic to consider which makes it have a short cast time before blinking.
• Flash can be used during cast time but it will not cancel the blink.
• If the target is very close to a wall and Katarina targets Shunpo behind the target, she can blink over the wall.
• Shunpo will still deal damage but not apply on-hit effects if dodged. It cannot be blocked nor can it be missed while Katarina is blinded.

Death Lotus

EFFECT RADIUS: 550 CAST TIME: none COOLDOWN: 90 / 60 / 45

	Active: Katarina channels for up to 2.5 seconds, rapidly spinning in place to throw a dagger every 0.166 seconds to up to 3 nearby enemy champions. Each dagger deals physical damage and magic damage, applies on-hit effects at 25% effectiveness, and inflicts 60% Grievous Wounds on the target for 3 seconds.	Physical Damage Per Dagger: 15% (+ 9.9% total attack speed) bonus AD Maximum Single-Target Physical Damage: 225% (+ 148.5% total attack speed) bonus AD Magic Damage Per Dagger: 25 / 37.5 / 50 (+ 19% AP) Maximum Single-Target Magic Damage: 375 / 562.5 / 750 (+ 285% AP)
	A nearby enemy champion is required to cast this ability. Katarina does not need to have sight of the target to hit them, and she will prioritize the closest ones.
