Advice to Understand How Katarina Will Play

Picking up Daggers will significantly reduce Shunpo's cooldown.

Is Ahri better when played alongside Katarina?

There is no one best synergy for Ahri that will 100% of the time be her best teammate. Yet, Katarina is a relatively poor teammate for Ahri. By playing on the same team as Ahri, she decreases their win rate by -1.7% to 46.5%. This shows that there is a bad synergy between Ahri and Katarina that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Katarina has a greater difficulty than Ahri. That means you need to be cautious when enlisting Katarina comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working together, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Combined, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Although, by grouping Ahri and Katarina together, you probably will not be providing your side a lot of crowd control. We recommend you have other champs on your team that fills this disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Katarina ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
