How to Build Katarina in S14

[@Cocho_Kat]

Replace stormsurge with lich bane, rest of the video is fine though Lich bane is getting nerfed soon in patch 14.3, so we'll see after that lol

[@0211deidara]

Is it really that bad after the nerf?

[@Cocho_Kat]

@@0211deidara it's not that bad but all these items just read DO DAMAGE so we pick the one with big number lol If number smaller why pick?

[@0211deidara]

I mean, the effect is that bad? Cause that explosion add some dmg tho, and is cheap. Btw i just tried your build and is great c:@@Cocho_Kat

[@Cocho_Kat]

@@0211deidara thanks and no it's not bad. But it's like picking $9 when you could have picked $10 lol

Riot Games: Hello ADC mains, I know we're taking away your ability to be mobile by removing Galeforce but hey, you get a new On-Hit item that gives you armor shred and defencive stats! Katarina: is for me? 👉🏻👈🏻

[@savato3527]

You can even add as a 4th item (AD BUILD) the new Hexplate something (sorry I play in Spanish) the new item that gives you 55ad 20%as 300hp and gives u 35%AS and 15%MS when u ult gives you way more damage when u ult than botr (unless u need its passive). and u even become tankier

[@b.chen_]

Been waiting this video all day long, thanks!

[@kerimakbulut8261]

LET'S GO COCHO! been waiting for this man

[@yobroh0]

Lovely vid, u cut all the fat and got to the point, with great information. Much appreciated!

[@Cocho_Kat]

I see a lot of Nash > Stormsurge > Shadowflame. Just the same items just swapped around a bit. I think this makes some sense with electro. But I still like my build orders better with Dark Harvest or Conqueror for sure.

[@JasemQ8]

Great video, earns a new viewer :D

[@leight420]

thankff for this great build

[@derrickhuang4579]

Went to test around myself with as kat as I enjoy as kat way more than ap, and im glad it’s viable again. Plus after throwing out your entire combo, you still do a shitton of damage with autos while with ap you’re kinda just waiting for cooldowns

[@MangaGamified]

I think win rate items will plateau to on-hit / semi-on-hit builds, due to AH nerfs. It already felt ages as katarina in S13 I think AH was fine last season except for some outliers like Zed, Lux and whatnot.

[@prxject6686]

How do I decide when to go AD or AP?

[@CanisoGaming]

When the enemy team is going multi tanks, u're better off going ad (u'd be impactful since early game, unlike with AP kata) Also vs Akali I always think it's better to go ad straight away as having an ad starter item gives u the advantage you NEED over her in early game. Also honestly now been playing ad kata for a few weeks again & she seriously has early game skirmish strengths that AP kata lacks, a lot of times I get jumped 2v1 & if AP that's most of the time either a flash away or death, but with ad kata I find myself winning the 2v1 95% of the time 🤷. Oh and like I said against tanks it's great to start ad so u can even roam top side (to contest grubs for example, if enemy top tank happens to be there u are literally able to shred the mf solo) Late game ad kata does not fall behind at all, unlike what I've been told before I tested it out myself 🤷, when u got the right items she is just as strong as AP

[@locoenrique07]

How I will miss my AD katarina as a divine cutter and ruined king, she healed me a lot and many times I could go 1v5 thanks to how tank she was

[@Toseina667]

I was a bit lost with the new items but Cocho the savior is always around

[@matijabaucal472]

this video makes me wanna test builds and play the game, i need to study for my semester! screw you pal!

[@kevinkestler8020]

Thanks man you are saving me a lot of Time

[@iDominic360]

As someone trying to learn both Ap and ad Kat, TY! You’ve got a new sub👍

[@CanisoGaming]

Finally someone that understands why i always go dark harvest with these 2 items. It literally fuckin screams SYNERGY yet people keep pinging the rune 😂🤷

[@MangaGamified]

I feel like everything will plateau with item win rate sites, if you're not curious of item interactions.

[@tapioca88]

In my personal testing, I saw that if you have enough money for it when you base, its lich bane first item since it does the most dmg (obv because it costs the most). Also the MS you get from it is insane. Lianhuadao (CN Nr.1 Kat) does the same for now. He goes either stormsurge or lich bane first item depending on how much gold he has when he recalls for first item.

[@blessedboy1993]

hey can you make a video talking about lane phase and how to play it well? also great video keep it up. loved edging to this one!

[@haiduynguyen6625]

fantastic video like the last one

[@Valenja18]

GREAT VIDEO MANN I LOVE YA

[@kevdrag]

Omg, I needed this so much. YOU ARE THE FUCKING GOAT

[@cartoonstoons-q1r]

I miss your videos, hope you're doing well

[@HeartOfGon]

Bless your heart sir

[@arabatzis23]

KATA IS BACK BABY

[@nestycb6702]

Nice vid! What about Hextech Gunblade and Cryptbloom?

[@pcp3]

do you have a lisp? im not making fun of it im jsut asking

[@marcelinehvh]

Rage blade actually still allows crits, it only has base onhit now

[@yGKeKe]

So, I actually did the Stormsurge Shadowflame opener myself, but with conq page. Do you think the other builds are flat out better when going conq or? Although I guess your first conq build is the same three items in a different order lol. I guess the real question is...do you think those three items build order is rune dependent, or enemy team comp dependent?

[@Cocho_Kat]

Those three items are pretty much the same thing for overall damage. just depends how you are doing damage. If you don't land much, then flat burst like elec and stormsurge will do the most. If you land a good combo with a bunch of autos, then conq and nash will do more damage. they both apply to more than one person. Those just make more sense to me since the damage on items are so similar. But it's not like stormsuge with conq is bad. Just a little bit suboptimal imo

[@deltaruneenjoyer]

thanks man!!!!

[@Spectre_Stream]

Are these items still good on Kata, Do Titanic Hydra is still good although we do not buy any other HP items for it to deal more damage

[@Cocho_Kat]

@@Spectre_Stream Nyro's build with bork > terminus > Titanic is one of the only good ad builds that I like atm. You still get some hp from overgrowth and 2x scaling hp runes in that build.

[@Spectre_Stream]

@Cocho_Kat Thanks, i will try that, after this three will there be any onhit item, or will it be deaths dance or something

[@Cocho_Kat]

@@Spectre_Stream jaksho, wits, or kraken

[@nightingale8178]

Guinsoo stacks work with kraken this season. Which means Kraken Guinsoo is the strongest 2item spike on ad Kata rn. Tho yes Titanic gives defences. So for me it would be Kraken, Guinsoo, Titanic, Terminus.

[@MangaGamified]

Kraken, Guinsoo, Titanic, Terminus, Bork/IE, ShadowFlame same build as Kog, doesnt make sense but blue crit is asmr

[@KloppyLP]

So after first day of New season and being d2 right now I have to say I don't build nashors anymore one thing that annoid me the most of ap items over the last seasons were the build paths and nashors was the nemesis there with recurve bow. Ik in some matchup u start dblade and bow after with conq for the juicy aas but it was never my style and I hated it. Now with stormsurge first I have all options after going armor (zhonias), Mr (banshies), anti tank (liandrys) or pure DMG (Shadowflame). that is the utility I was looking for and riot gave it to me. Unless stormsurge gets nerfed to the ground I think Im gonna skip nashors. Tell me your thoughts guys!

[@larsstrigan1231]

nashors feels so bad man. First it got random AH, now less ap?

[@andrewpaul1207]

i always trust your build ideas ty :) crfyptblossom might be cool in aram. idk. malignance has a chunk of ap too. hmm.

[@roiboosuryoutube1574]

so, the best build is ad or ap for now?

[@RussianSpy4632]

I miss you cocho, come back ;c

[@k4taraa]

can you explain how nashors is better than stormsurge rush?

[@Cocho_Kat]

I don't think it is a necessarily a better rush. but stormsurge is single target, the AoE hitting people isn't super reliable. Nashor procs on everyone and enhances your autos to help stack conq and do more dps Just different items. depends on playstyle and preference

[@artistwithtail]

TY I'll use it on good purpose

[@mathijswy]

Is there no spot for Lichbane anywhere with shadowflame crits? Just suboptimal?

[@Cocho_Kat]

If they are already low and instantly die to shadow and lich bane from E+dagger, that's the highest burst. lich is more expensive and applies to one person. But the damage is usually pretty similar to nash/shadow/stormsurge.

[@MangaGamified]

It's up to you and your squad, it's less predictable w/out a squad, like an Amumu ult then you follow up with your ult, just for the remaining 3 to just watch, it happens. So you may lean to hit-&-run non-wombo-combo tactics. Lichbane is not bad, I call it E build if I'm in the mood maximizing single E burst, and another miximizing Ult damage while still have useful auto-attacks after(on-hit build, but not necessarily too bursty E)

[@ulquiorra635]

Ok i wanna know when shud use Ad build and when to use Conquer build with rift maker?

[@Cocho_Kat]

Liandry is good vs opponents who build health Kraken + Titanic is generally good when you want AD damage but it's hard to get away with building AD in lane since your wave clear takes a hit.

[@ewar777]

why is nashor tooth the first pick on conqueror squishy Cocho?

[@Cocho_Kat]

Nash gives you more dps and applies to more than one person. The damage is pretty similar to stormsurge but nash is more in line with what conqueror wants to do.

[@shyper_]

So you dont build sorc shoes like ever?

[@lethalshredder843]

Try kraken and shadowflame. Kraken has ap ratios

[@tigas7705]

how do you choose to use eletrucute over conquerer againts squishy teams?

[@haku_3713]

electrocute for squishies and conq for sustain

[@Nova-xm1me]

with the ad builds, when do you buy boots?

[@Nova-xm1me]

also with the full ad build are you still to go Sorc boots?

[@Nova-xm1me]

also also, what do you do for the last item?

[@richard53286]

Defensive boots

[@SwainGod685]

Bro is league of memories still working?

[@dark_choir]

thats my goat cocho

[@finsta8103]

what items to start on these builds ?

[@finsta8103]

like doran’s blade orrr

where new video

[@metanol6151]

does guinsoo still remove your crit rate? the item description doesn't say it

[@yGKeKe]

No, it doesn't. The stats on Guinsoo are all it has, it doesn't scale anymore.

[@metanol6151]

@@yGKeKe I got confused because he said that without guinsoo you can crit, but now you can CRIT even with guinsoo

[@cgva1013]

i think guinsoo is so broken bc now they reworked the thing that works with kraken and katarina ultimate@@metanol6151

[@dragonboll7274]

yoooo i did the same frikn testing that is so nice

[@nypreax]

Rushing stormsurge makes no sense to me. You want to play for your passive no? Like get resets as quickly as possible. How does sturmsurge help you with that more than shadowflame would? I just dont get why you would sac offensive stats and a passive designed to help you kill your opponent to then get go your next reset for an item that has less offensive stats and only goes off after a certain time period. To me nashors shadowflame -> situational seems to make a lot more sense.

[@larsstrigan1231]

prob bc its cheaper? idk

[@kientangvinh7272]

Is tank katarina still a thing in this S14 ???

[@MangaGamified]

If u want to survive an instant longer

hopefully we can finally have some fun in this miserable game

I hate stormsurge. It was a failure for me

[@kex8589]

☹

[@Kevin-ngo]

you should go to speech therapy bro no offence

[@saki1333]

Any tank build ideas for evil individuals such as myself ? XD

[@Cocho_Kat]

Grasp > Bami (can skip) > Heartsteel > Riftmaker > bami cinder item/liandry/titanic > repeat this is my guess since riftmaker has the passive that gives AP based on health, and titanic lost the passive to give AD based on health.
