Guide to Synergizing Katarina and Ryze

Tips for Playing as Katarina with Ryze

Picking up Daggers will significantly reduce Shunpo's cooldown.

Try waiting until the other team is distracted with fighting your team, and use Shunpo to teleport into the fray and unleash a devastating Death Lotus.

Using Shunpo on an allied Champion, Dagger, or minion can be a great escape tactic.

Advice to Understand How Ryze Will Play

Spell Flux's short cooldown allows it to be used to spread Flux to many enemies.

Use Overload's passive to optimize for maximum damage or maximum speed.

Ryze can move and cast other spells while Realm Warp is charging without cancelling the portal.
