Guide to Synergizing Katarina and Zeri

Tips for Playing as Katarina with Zeri

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 is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Zeri.

Is Katarina better when played alongside Zeri?

There is no top companion for Katarina that will 100% of the time be her ideal teammate. Yet, overall, Zeri is a very bad ally for Katarina. By locking into the same team as Katarina, they drops their win rate by -4.6% to 44.2%. This shows that there is a terrible synergy between Katarina and Zeri that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

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

When playing on the same side, Katarina players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by pairing Katarina and Zeri together, you probably will not be giving your side enough support. We recommend you have other champs on your team that fills this relative gap in their abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Zeri ally, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
