Threat Hero Notes
1
Fortress Not enough experience to draw a solid conclusion. Just peel him off your carries.
2
  No Threat
3
Celeste Lol he burst is a joke for you (enge while b ability is up) stun her and she will fall. Try to tank her ult with your shield.
3
SAW You can take away his passive by stunning him after that he will have a hard time recovering. If he build SM (serpents mask) don't linger around too long or he can out sustain you.
4
Adagio His heal is the biggest threat he offers as a roam. Few people play him weapon any more but i they do you will destroy him. Save crucible for his ult and only his ult.
4
Phinn You can easily brute force trade with this guy and win. Don't use your a ability as you can't stun him thus losing a possible stack of your passive.
5
Krul Stun and run try not to stay in a head on engage meant with him. Tank his stun for your carries.
6
Ringo The slow makes engaging hard. Save your b ability for his ult it will engage the burst on CP ringo.
7
Ardan Less of a direct threat but his ult can screw up your chase. If he goes on hit build (BP,TT, etc.) then you should not head on engage him until the rest of their team is dead.
7
Taka A good taka will burst you once your b ability is on CD. Stun him and he will run. Once that happens active your b ability to reveal him with your passive damage.
8
Blackfeather Burst him and have your team follow up. He can only hold two charges of his ult so attack when its on CD. At level 6 you can stun him directly after his first use of his charge. Should be a priority in team fights.
9
Kestrel A good kestrel will stun you and kite you out till your shield wears off and then ult you or your back line. If you can stun her she will most likely go down.
10
Skye Her whole kit can kite you burst you and out sustain you he is to be taken the most seriously by and melee hero.

About Build Path/Ability Order Top

Personally you level her how you like there is no best way you need to choose based of how you and your team is doing.

Build path

boots T1 then chronograph if in lane or dragon heart if roaming

roam - warhorn
lane - aftershock

after that boots T2 and then get aftershock/warhorn which ever one you haven't built yet

if you are behind get another tank item like crucible or lifesaving and then eye
after eye or tank item T3 boots (journey boots) and more tank or contraption if you plan on taking lots of objectives by yourself or with only one other team mate. build your last item as you need (situational item)

Why this build (summary/quick guide) Top

This version of Catherine will let you "carry" your team from the support role. You will have good damage with aftershock. You will out sustain with eye of harvest as it causes your b ability to heal you. You want to focus on making you team last longer than theres and making sure you engage not your back line. You will have a small burst counter by ulting and then engaging on the squishiest enemy. In the next sections I will go through the 2 types of supports and how to play the early game and how to team fight.

Suport Type: ROAM Top

This is the typical style. Go into the jungle and leash your jungler, let them last hit creeps etc. Solo gank if you want as you will need your passive stacks up to at least 35-50 late game. try to be friendly and supportive of your team and help take key objectives be holding off the enemy team. This is what is most expected by other players try starting out this way and get good at it before you try lane Catherine.

Support Type: LANE Top

This is an advanced strategy that is based off harassing out the enemy laner and staking your passive consistently. You must start A ability in this play style. You will still buy irongaurd contract. To begin with you will go into the lane brush on the side closer to the jungle. As soon as the first trade happens use you a ability to stun the other laner. This will most likely result in a kill. Then stay in lane by the brush and try to keep staking your passive with your a ability. If you get 3v2ed early run do not sit around and wait for your jungler you will give them a double kill.

Team Fights Top

To team fight with Catherine you should try to hit al three of them with your ult and then stun their carry. if your team gets engaged on peel for your most fed carry and then proceed to ult to disable burst mages and takes.
