Catherine's Items Top
The items that are listed in the items list are all chosen for their special synergy with Catherine. Remember that you can't have a set build that is the same for every single match. For example, if the enemies are using mostly crystal
then you might want to build aegis
.
Firstly, I chose aftershock
because the cool down reduction is nice but also because of the massive boost in damage. Aftershock even provides some life steal once, I attacked a Glaive and got 150 lifesteal just from aftershock.
Item number two; Eve of harvest
give a very nice crystsl lifesteal. Catherine's abilities use a lot of energy, so it is essential that you have the energy that EOH provides.
If you feel that you're not doing much damage to the enemies, you might opt for a boost from Shatterglass
.
Tension bow
provides some extra burst damage and works well with aftershock to delive a hard punch.
Like I said earlier,use specific defensive items against specific enemy builds. Crucible
, fountain of renewal
, aegis
and metal jacket
are all good against enemies with different builds. If you're facing enemies with very high attack speed like Saw or Krul then you might go for atlas Pauldron
.
At the beginning of the game, you might want to get warhorn
for the incredibly fast farm speed and the team support more speed. Likewise, contraption
is good for quick clearing and you can lay down mines and use flares for free! Speed boots
are essential and you should get speed boots as quick as possible. Clockwork
is exellent for speeding up abilities and the energy recharge is very useful.
Of course, we can't forget the extra small items like halcyon potions
that can save your life with health regen and energy restoration. Always make sure you've stocked up on halcyon potions. Scout traps
grant vision and also can change the course of team fights. Flares
maintain vision and as a laner, it's always good to check out your surroundings. Lastly, crystal infusions
work great with all you abilities and items and are immensely useful for trying to push back the enemies.
Skill Breakdown Top
Catherine has a very wide skill set. In fact, she is the most XP and gold independent hero in the game!
Her heroic perk, Captain of the Gaurd, isn't the best perk in the game as 1 armor isn't really a massive amount. However, every little bit counts and it's important to farm your perk as much as possible by spamming Merciless Pursuit.
Possibly the most useful ability in the game, it's help in fleeing, chasing, it can stun... And it grants bonus armor after use! Spam this ability for the bonus armor and the narrating effect.
Stormguard is one of the most confusing abilities in the game. Basically, anything above 10% of your base health (your health without any items) deflects to nearby enemies. Use this
ability as much as possible to give out as much damage as possible. This ability silences enemies, meaning that they can't use items or abilities!
With a fair amount of damage, this skill can finish off fleeing enemies efficiently... Use this at the start of team fights to give an exellent head start for your team. This ability silences enemies, meaning that they can't use abilities or items for a period of time.
Starting Top
Starting off, you should try to rush Lifespring, it is essential that you have enough health to last in the lane. Constantly restock Halcyon Potions for energy and health. Try to get an energy battery early on as Catherine's abilities require a lot of energy. A perk of lane Catherine is her ability to farm her heroic perk. Spam Merciless Pursuits to harrass the enemy lakers and to slowly build up your armor, every little bit counts. During the early game, make sure you get away as fast as possible to sustain as little damage as possible.
In the jungle, at the start of the game, get halcyon potions (essential) and crystal bit, hourglass or enegy battery. Go to the enemies small farm and draw the minions into the brush to avoid being seen. Tip: activate your shield immediately after attacking the minions and it will bring them down to minimal health. By attacking the enemies minions first, you can get more money for your time.
Engaging enemies Top
When starting a team fight, use your Blast Tremor first to disable the enemy team immediately. Then charge in with you stun and activate your shield to absorb and reflect.
Middle-Late Game Top
After getting your first crystal item, clockwork or aftershock and a defensive item, start to use crystal infusions if there is a need to push or turn around team fights. Use Crucible at points in tea fights when your team has very little health, timing is essential! Likewise with Fountain of Renewal, it is important to use it when your team have very little health as you will receive a bonus.
