Katarina
GameplayKatarina is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- 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.
- Single-use on-hit effects, such as Spellblade, will apply to the closest target to Katarina when she uses a Dagger.
- Shunpo can be used on any unit except structures and wards.
- Shunpo can be cast on Daggers that haven't landed yet.
- 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.
- Shunpo does not require the enemy to be within targeting range to damage them. It only requires them to be within the max range around a unit that Shunpo allows them to blink to.

- In addition to already revealing herself, Katarina will reveal her location (450 radius) for 4.5 seconds every time she throws a dagger at an enemy while the enemy team does not otherwise have vision of her.(bug)
- Because of this, the vision on Katarina's location will persist for up-to 4.5 seconds after the channel ends.
- Death Lotus will not end if no enemies remain in range.
- Spell shield will block and be consumed by only one dagger.
- Each dagger counts as a separate hit for effects such as Conqueror, Electrocute, and Eclipse's Ever Rising Moon.
