Where these numbers come from

They are pulled from the mode's own files for patch 26.15, the one currently live. The source is community-run rather than an official Riot API, and the game shifts with community votes, so a gap with your own game is always possible.

Items

Note

Katarina spends no resource, so nothing in this build is about lasting: everything is about surviving her own commitment. Hextech Gunblade is the centrepiece, because it returns health while you channel the ultimate and adds a targeted slow to stick to your victim. Zhonya's Hourglass isn't a defensive item on her, it's an offensive one: it lets you enter too early and wait for your team to follow. Mercury's Treads replace sorcerer's shoes the moment a single enemy can interrupt your ultimate, which is the only thing that can remove you from a fight. Max Bouncing Blades first, it's your only riskless pressure in lane. Maîtrises : 21/9/0 into Offense.
