Guide to Synergizing Vayne and Katarina

Tips for Playing as Vayne with Katarina

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

Tumble has many uses, but it cannot pass over walls.

Condemn can be used to both pin targets to walls to ensure a kill, or to escape a pursuer.

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.
