Why this Build? Top
This is my favourite build for Catherine.
Pro:
Short CD and fast Mana regen
Contraption and
Aftershock grants
Cooldown speed
Aftershock and
Eve of Harvest gives a
good Energy Recharge and Max Energy
Good Damage
First, get your
Ironguard Contract upgrade to
Stormguard Banner. It helps you to
build damage while you let your ally to last hit minions. (Get the first hit to let your ally receive additional Gold)
At the late game
Aftershock make your basic attacks after a skill a good damage. If your
Stormguard Banner damage is built properly your basic attack + skill damage + aftershock damage should done a good damage.
(Comapare with other Catherine damage who didn't give up their support and defense)
Hard to kill
Captain of the Guard gives 1 armor & shield every time she stuns or silences an enemy hero with her abilities. With short CD go stun enemies as much as you can. I can easily build up to min 60+ max 100++ in a game. This means free min 60 ++ armor and shield for Catherine.
With
Eve of Harvest +
Stormguard, you can enjoy a
reduced damage + portion of the reflected damage converted back to your health.
With
Journey Boots and
Contraption , you are having a
high health regen. If you are low on health just try walk a round in the battlefield and your health is back!!! XD
Cons:
Weak against
Serpent Mask +
Breaking Points Heroes
Don't worry, this doesn't means any heroes with this build can kill you easily.
Just those late game heroes who extra benefits from thess items combination becoming a threat to you.
Examples
Ardan, Krul and Blackfeather
For
Ardan just take off their ally quick, and not much threat to you. Just stun him and flee with your bouncing bubbles if you are 1 on 1 with him with his
breaking points fully build up. (Offset Gauntlet with Crucible or Aegis Shield)
Krul and Blackfeather
I suggest to stun them and focus fire to take them out before their
breaking points build up.
Contraption or Warhorn? Top
is for those advanced player who knows where to mine and use flare. As
mine and flare is a very important factor in late game for higher rank.
It is important to know your enemies postion for setting up ambush or getting ambushed.
You must know where and when to place the mine.
If you are not familiar with
, then just go for
.
Good for flee or chasing enemies.
Aegis or Fountain? Top
Well, before i wrote this guide there is a lot of talks and guide say catherine must go for
fountain not
aegis.
As a roamer support u should take
fountain to support your team.
I receive some comment on this.
But in my opinion, this 2 items actually have their own benefits in different situation and playstyle.
Normally at late game, i believe most team in high rank will group and move closely together or hide in an brush to set up ambush.
If you are more comfortable with this playstyle then don't go for
Aegis, just taking
Fountain.
Because taking
Aegis in this situation won't give you much benefits as enemies might kill your ADC or ally first.
If you are more aggressive always slightly in front of your team then go for
Aegis.
( I don't means you are only in front of your team formation, but you are a distance with your team but if you are engage with enemies, youe teams take 1 to 2 seconds to come into the ganks.)
Examples your 2 ally are hiding into brush and you walk into opposite brush.
In such situation most enemies will focus fire on you. Then you just walk in with your bouncing bubble stun their weakest hero or ADC. Let your ally focus fire on them, activate reflex block if your health below 30-40%. Use the
crucible reflex block only if they try stun your ally or ally is low health.
If you have any idea or feedback, feel free to comment in discussion.
Thanks for have a look on my guide, hope it helps.
