Guide to Synergizing Kindred and Katarina

Tips for Playing as Kindred with Katarina

Pick which Hunts you want to pursue carefully; getting many of them is the key to success as the game goes on.

Don't go in first to a large team fight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.

Moving around between attacks while jungling will help you avoid damage and also generate more heals from Wolf's Frenzy.

Advice to Understand How Katarina Will Play

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.
