Abilities
Voracity
PCInnate: Scoring a champion takedown within 3 seconds of damaging them will reduce the current cooldowns of Katarina's abilities by 15 seconds.
Innate - Sinister Steel: Whenever Katarina retrieves a Dagger, she slashes around to deal 68;72;77;82;89;96;103;112;121;131;142;154;166;180;194;208;224;240% (+ 60% bonus AD) (+ % AP) magic damage to nearby enemies and against champions additionally applying on-hit effects at 100% effectiveness. This also reduces Shunpo current cooldown by % of its total cooldown.
Bouncing Blade
PCActive: Katarina throws a Dagger at the target enemy that deals magic damage and can bounce to up to two additional nearby enemies.
The Dagger then lands onto the ground after 1 second, about 350 units opposite from where it struck the first target.
The target does not have to be sight for the Dagger to bounce to them.
Preparation
PCActive: Katarina tosses a Dagger into the air above her current location and gains bonus movement speed that decays until it lands after 1.25 seconds, becoming ghosted for the same duration.
Shunpo
PCActive: Katarina blinks to the target location around the target unit or Dagger, dealing magic damage to the nearest enemy in range and applying on-hit effects at 100% effectiveness.
Shunpo basic attack reset Katarina's basic attack timer, unless the target was killed by Shunpo2. Upon blinking, Katarina enters a 0.15-second cast time.
Death Lotus
PCActive: Katarina channel for up to 2.5 seconds, rapidly throwing a dagger every 0.166 seconds to up to 3 of the closest nearby enemy champions, sight herself in the process. Each dagger deals physical damage and magic damage, applies on-attack and on-hit (without applying life steal) effects, and inflicts Grievous Wounds on the target for 3 seconds.
An enemy champion within 500 units is required to cast this ability. The target does not have to be sight to be hit by this ability.
