Introduction Top
If you would like your presence on the battlefield be feared by the whole enemy team this build will suit you
I played against Catherine that heavily invest in tanking but unfortunately they lack the power to pack a punch and most of the time being ignored. So I hope this build can give the Catherine lovers out there to instill fear in the enemy at the sight of you.
Skill Levelup:
Blast Tremor>
Stormguard>
Merciless Pursuit (2nd skill point in MP though for harassment or running away)
1) Warhorn
2)
Aftershock
3)
Travel Boots (Tier 2)
4)
Eve of Harvest (through the crystal route)
5)
Shatterglass
6)
Shatterglass/
Crucible
You wont do much to the enemy heroes until you obtain Aftershock, though you can reap the benefit of the cooldown accelerations to build up your armour through the Merciless Pursuit, support your teammate to stun or just to annoy the enemy.
1)Most obvious advantage is the short CD (9s for Merciless Pursuit, 3s for Stormguard, 42s for Blast Tremor).
2)After you obtain Aftershock you turned into a killing machine as you can proc twice just with the Merciless Pursuit, then Stormguard, that easily take away 60% of their health while recovering from the stun, throw in another proc if you will with your ultimate while also taking away a big chunk of health from the whole team while silencing them.
3)You make a lot of gold by being hit (a lot) or your allies kill npc. You also are a npc killer, the Warhorn gives 100dps adjusted to 135 true damage every basic attack Catherine does because of her slow attack speed. To give you some perspective, my base weapon attack (141) at around lvl 11/12 does 47 dmg on a turret while also from Warhorn +135, true damage bypass any armour to any npc (mobs, turrets, Kraken).
4)After Eve of Harvest you can solo Kraken and down it in 30s.
5)Warhorn+Boots+Merciless Pursuit, only a double clock ninja
SAW can outrun her
FUN NOTES Top
1)You dont need to stick to the items build strictly. To me it is only the first three items that are important and most of the time I go Shatterglass first instead of Eve. (2xShatterglass and your ultimate deals around 800 dmg :o). Shift the items 4-6 accordingly, if you find yourself dies a lot get Crucible first, if you want to solo Kraken get Eve.
2)Catherine is the only one that can benefit from enemy's SAW Suppressing Fire. I laughed so hard when the multiple deflection killed a ran away Koshka.
3)Did I mentioned she is a npc killer? Dash around capturing cystal/gold mine and attacking turret can easily be done thanks to the short CD and speed boost and the Warhorn damage. No more standing there slapping the mine minions with tissue and let the enemy catch up on you.
4)The shield does like 3 ticks per second (roughly ) She can be a very good lane farmer too burning a bunch of lane mobs together and can always net the last shot with the fast ticks. If I remember correctly, with a Shatterglass it is 27-30 per tick.
5)The longer the game last the deadlier you are because you can build up the armour stack, it is easily to obtain a 20+ stacks in a game.
So have fun. Make them fear at the sight of Catherine.
P/S: Hot babe with army outfit with a huge shield sword and armoured hand, the one who came up with the design is awesome. m(__)m
