Guide to Synergizing Draven and Katarina

Tips for Playing as Draven with Katarina

If Draven doesn't move, Spinning Axe will fall near his present location. It will fall directly on him, or just to the right or left.

If Draven does move after attacking, Spinning Axe will lead him in the direction of his movement. Use this to control where the Spinning Axe will go.

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.

This clearly indicates that there is a bad synergy between Draven and Katarina that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Katarina has a lower difficulty than Draven. That means Draven players don't need to be cautious when arranging Katarina allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Working alongside, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
