Tips for Playing as Tristana with Katarina

Use Rapid Fire to help stack up your Explosive Charge on enemy champions.

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.
