Guide to Synergizing Cassiopeia and Katarina

Tips for Playing as Cassiopeia with Katarina

Lead your enemy when targeting with Noxious Blast to ensure the hit.

Use Twin Fang on poisoned stationary targets like monsters and units stunned by her Petrifying Gaze for maximum damage.

Advice to Understand How Katarina Will Play

Picking up Daggers will significantly reduce Shunpo's cooldown.

Try waiting until the other team is distracted with fighting your team, and use Shunpo to teleport into the fray and unleash a devastating Death Lotus.

Using Shunpo on an allied Champion, Dagger, or minion can be a great escape tactic.

Is Cassiopeia better when played alongside Katarina?

There is no ideal synergy for Cassiopeia that will always be her best teammate. Yet, overall, Katarina is a very bad companion for Cassiopeia. By locking into the same side as Cassiopeia, she lowers their win rate by -6.0% to 44.3%. This clearly indicates that there is a terrible bond between Cassiopeia and Katarina that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Katarina has a lower difficulty than Cassiopeia. That means Cassiopeia players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Katarina teammates to play with, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Working together, Cassiopeia players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. When paired, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by grouping Cassiopeia and Katarina together, you probably will not be providing your other allies a great deal of attack damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that neutralizes this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Katarina ally, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
