Guide to Synergizing Katarina and Twitch

Tips for Playing as Katarina with Twitch

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 Twitch Will Play

Contaminate has a large range; apply as many stacks of Deadly Venom as possible before using it.

You can catch up to an enemy out of attack range with Venom Cask.

Twitch's Attack Speed is among the highest in the game; try purchasing items with on-hit effects such as Black Cleaver or Wit's End.
