Threat

Low

High

Threat	Hero		Notes
1		Koshka	Koshkas do high damage but I don't find them to be a problem. There ulti can be countered with a stun if your own(ally will still be stunned but won't take any damage from koshka) Her speed boosts are annoying for kiting but other than that nothing to be afraid of since most people don't even know how to properly use koshka(I have no clue how to use her effectively)
2			No Threat
3		Adagio	3 words. Burn And Slow Constant healing/slow is annoying but it's no big threat,just an annoyance. Don't waste your stun on him when he ults,it will still go off,and possibly stun you in he process(if you are burning) One solution:stun,shield,team Gank,dead
3		Glaive	Glaives afterburn makes getting away from ganks super difficult, use Catherines stun at the right time and you can give your team mate just enough time to get some distance between him and glaive. Glaives 2nd ability will just make you bubbles go left and right. His ulti has the same effect
3		Ringo	Although one of the best lanes he's not very effective against Catherine with her bubble up. When Ringo uses Twirling Silver just bubble up and he'll be damaging himself. The shield also counters Ringos ulti. Stunning him at the start of a team fight as he'll be the biggest damage dealer AND the squishiest enemy.
4		Catherine	Catherine vs. Catherine are tedious fights as you'll be stunning each other and deflecting the little damage each of you do. 1v1s will result in no where. Just make sure to stun her before she can stun any of your other team mates.
4		Fortress	Not a lot of experience playing against fortresses but his abilities do insane damage(for a support) If he uses lunge and gives a speed boost to his team just warhorn away(if you're losing the team fight) His ult isn't really a damage problem but it will screw you over as it will give them vision and let them know if they are free to take kraken
4		Vox	With the 1.7 nerf he's very easy to kill. But still,watch out for resonance because if he gets it on all 3 of your allies the bounce damage will screw you over. His sonic zoom hit range is a little OP as well And his ult will provide resonance on hit so avoid bunching up together when going against vox.
5		Celeste	Celeste had the same problem as Ringo. Bubble damage. Bubble up to both deflect her stars but also take far less damage. Her stun isn't anything special as it only last a second and most Celeste's miss from bad aiming. Her ulti is unblock able(unless fired incorrectly) and will generally secure a team fight win for your rivals
6		Joule	First ability is a problem at the begining of ganks. Getting stunned as a Catherine makes you easy bait even with high health. When she uses ulti bubble up and you'll deflect most of the damage and give it right back to her in bubble damage. No comment on her second move
6		SAW	Saws suppressing fire won't do too much damage to you if you bubble up. I recommend ganking him before he reaches lvl 1 since he'll be slow from spin up stacks and won't have shank to make a great escape On that note be aware of his shanks For they do lots of damage and give great distance between you and him. Stunning him will remove spin up stacks and make him easy prey(but you should still watch out for his ulti)
6		Skaarf	Easily stunned at start of ulti But his burns and goop are very high damage He'll burst you down til the sun comes up
7			No Threat
8		Ardan	I find Ardin to be a huge rival support. He,ll keep his Allies alive for who knows how long and has an ult that will completely turn the tables in any team fight/escape. If ardan ultis retaliate with yours so that way the rival team can't go to town with they're abilities. Other than that there's not many ways to counter Ardin.(atleast that I know of)
9		Krul	Kruls a VERY high value target. When you see him STUN HIM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Don't allow him to stack up and gain millions of health in smite damage. Let a ranged hero like Ringo petal or even vox kite him,without dead mans rush and no stacks he's useless against ranged heroes.
9		Petal	Munions.... Munions!!!!! MUNIONS!!!!!!! Munions will go through your shield like nothing, her ult will render a team fight unwinnable and her seeds will give her constant vision, working as a discount version of scout traps Her range will F you over if you even try and get near her Just avoid confrontation at all costs
10		Taka	Even with your bubble up he does insane amounts of damage. Buuuuuut if you stun him after he's used all of his abilities he's a sitting duck,since he can't kaku that instant. Takas go for the weak links so stay close to your squishiest hero and be ready with a stun and possibly an ult silence

General Strategy Top

When you start out farming tank all the farm damage as you'll get bonus gold and a health regen.
After a wave or two of jungle farm go to lane and either nab a kill or just help out in pushing. You'll get some nice bonus gold from the laner killing all those creeps.
But don't stay too long for you'll leave your jungle open to invasions and farm steals.
Your job as Catherine is to lead your allies into battle and get them out in one piece.
Stuns,bubble,and silences will carry your team to victory. So make sure to use a lot of them.
Make sure to start off every team fight with a stun to the weakest link.
Check items I see who has the lowest heslth,no armor,no boots,etc.
Also make sure to watch your enemies mana bar,every detail counts.

Kraken Top

Flares
Flares
Scout traps
Flares
These items will secure a kraken taking. If you're scared of the other team stealing it use ulti when it's at 90-95% health and it'll be a garunteed kraken kill.
When getting kraken take a turret without it by tanking the damage and having your team burst it down.
This will insure you get more value from the kraken and farther pushing.
When getting kraken don't be an idiot and go for minion miners.
They'll just be stolen again and give the opposite team 200 gold,
Instead defend the kraken as long as you possibly can.

Items Top

War horn- makes for great escapes/amazing chases

Boots-you don't want to be as slow as saw with full stacks

Clockwork-Catherine runs out of mana very fast since you'll constantly be using suns and shield.
This just insures that you will be able to use your stuns frequently and not have I worry about losing all your mana at the wrong time

Shiver steel-gives you 500 health(for tankiness) and allows ganks and chases to be that much easier

After shock-extra stun damage,reduce cool down time and a nice little basic attack bonus after a stun or shield

Fountain of renewal-for when your not feeling yourself after a long hard battle and you need a little rejuicing,or if Rona just used her ulti and you need a way to survive all that damage.

Ending Top

Catherine is my favorite hero because she's so diverse and an excellent debilitator. I apoligize if this doesn't help or if you disagree with my play style. I go tank/chaser because I like to be able to give my team a combat edge and not have to worry about kiting or not being able to get away.
I hope this helped!
Bye!

Ps.sorry for all the spelling errors I'm too lazy to fix them
