Katarina combo routes

Every sequence states what it solves. Learn the decision before the muscle memory.

01Kit drill

Q

Bouncing Blade spacing drill

Repeat the first-max ability at minimum, expected and maximum practical range, then record where the cast stops being safe. Riot text: Katarina throws a Dagger at the target that then bounces to nearby enemies before ricocheting onto the ground.

Kit drill · not a combat recommendation

02Kit drill

Q · E · W

Basic-kit decision cycle

Cycle through the three basic abilities in the current max-order, then repeat while deliberately keeping one tool unused for disengage or follow-up. The goal is cooldown awareness, not memorizing a universal combo.

Practice order · verify in Practice Tool

03Kit drill

R

Death Lotus integration

Read R's actual targeting, unlock and resource conditions. Practice a valid use and a decision to hold it. Do not assume every ultimate offers a dash, escape or identical recast behavior.
