I just started playing this game 2 days ago, and I have been doing pretty well with Catherine. This is a basic guide for newbies that just want to carry and get free wins.
I came up with this build when I noticed that everyone just leaves in the middle of the game. The regular, standard Catherine build just does not have enough reach to actually finish a 2v3 or a 1v3 game.
I haven't figured out an optimal build-path for Catherine since I usually try to counter build against my opponents.
THIS BUILD DOES NOT WORK AGAINST TANKS
^At the level I'm playing at, everyone builds glass cannon. This makes it easy for Catherine to walk up and deflect everything thrown at her. Against tanky champions, you just do not have enough penetration or AP scaling to actually do damage in the late game.
THIS IS NOT A 1V3 BUILD
^Even where you are fed, it is hard to 1v3; you do not have enough AOE damage or high dps. However, it is possible to 1v1v1v1. By fighting your opponents separately, you make the best use of your cooldowns, and it is easier for you to chase your enemies without getting CC'd.
THE BUILD ITSELF
Start with Ironguard Contract. Sometimes, I upgrade it into Banner if I want to counter jungle or solo the gold miner at 4 min.
Next, I build Clockwerk. 50% cdr for less than 2k is insane.
After that, I decide whether I want damage or tank items. Since we all know that defense is for pansies, I go the damage route.
Keep in mind, this is NOT a set build. If the enemy Rango is fed, you have to upgrade boots and get an aegis.
Harvest, Deathcap and Alternating Current - these 3 items synergize super well together. Harvest gives you extended dueling potential. Deathcap (or whatever the big AP item is called) gives you HUGE magic damage, which increases the effectiveness of the spellvamp you get from Harvest. Alternating Current further increases your dueling power by increasing your DPS - it is not as strong without Deathcap though.
I'm not gonna go over skill order, kiting, exp., warding, jungle routes, ganking, flanking, invading, trading, teamfighting, etc. There are many other guides for those things. I'm still very new to this game so pls no haterino.
