Guide to Synergizing Samira and Katarina

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.
