Karthus has a much lower diffuclty than Cassiopeia. That means Cassiopeia players don't need to be careful when arranging Karthus allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.
Fighting on the same side, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Together, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
