Threat Hero Notes
1
  No Threat
2
Joule Quite easy to counter. Use your stun to remove her thunder strike stacks and if she tries to flee over the wall, try and stun her before she goes over it.
2
Petal Use StormGuard to burn her pets into nothingness. And if she uses her ultimate, either try running with merciless pursuit or just use StormGuard. She can't kite that much because you will slowly take away her pets' health, leaving her defenseless... Unless she is weapon power.
3
SAW Use your stun to remove his stacks. Use StormGuard when near him so when he tries to run, he will slow down for Abit before going on due to the Frostburn you have.

  No Threat
5
Krul If he's weapon power, don't worry. If he's Crystal power, make sure you use your StormGuard before he spectral smites you.
5
Ringo Like Adagio, he's slow will stop your merciless pursuit, and that's very annoying. When he tries to kite you after that, use StormGuard. Then when your mericless pursuit is up again, cut him down.
6
Glaive If weapon power, don't worry, just use your StormGuard. If Crystal power, he will knock you around till your shield is over, then you might die. Focus on stunning him, and you should be fine.
7
Koshka A very fast car who can easily escape from you, even with merciless pursuit. And that's when Frostburn comes in handy! Also, try and stun her when she uses her ultimate. It'll take practice.

Adagio A skilled Adagio can stop you from reaching him with merciless pursuit by slowing you when your about to stun him. He will just walk out and keep kiting.mmake sure to use your stun to stop his ultimate, because it is very deadly if your burning with arcane fire.

Catherine Black on black violence.

Introduction to Catherine with her mega punches ( 1 ) Top

WARNING: I am not that good at Catherine.

You might think Catherine will never get you. You might think Catherine sucks. But becareful, a well played Catherine will burst you down before you have the time to respond at all.

Catherine is quite a special tank. She relies on her ability, StormGuard or her heroic perk to get tanky. She is great at chasing with her awesome dashing stun along with a silence that will knock your teeth off. Building cooldown reduction on Catherine will allow her to spam her shield or stuns more quickly, allowing more sustain. However, it will reduce your damage when you don't build some crystal power. Your call.

the Build ( 2 ) Top

Starting Items no questions asked.

Life spring seriously boosts your stormguard to a certain amount of damage. Get it quickly, then immediately try and rush it into a fountain of renewal. Fountain of renewal will make you more tanky. Did you know, Catherine have very low heal for a tank? But it's made up with her heroic perk and stormguard. This item here will add more health, and also, the active allows you to heal! When your in a teamfight, if you see somebody is dying, use your heal. Also, don't use it in the last second when your at very low health, because you might die before the effect takes place, remember, it's still a heal over time.

The next thing is Warhorn. But then, get stormguard banner first, then upgrade your boots to travel boots. Only then you should continue building your Warhorn.

Obviously get a Clockwork next to lower your Cooldown reductions. No explanations needed, right?

Aftershock boosts your merciless pursuit damage by quite a lot. Since you can just spam it, it's awesome. The reason why I choose aftershock instead of tension bow is because aftershock gives you Crystal power, while tension bow gives you weapon power. And it's better to have more of a boost for your abilities.

The last thing... Crucible. It enhance fountain of renewal's active skill even more and have reflex block. The reason why I didn't pick aegis is because Ringo's ultimate pierce through any kind of defense. But then, not Catherine's StormGuard. So use it when the flaming fireball's about to hit you. Even if there's no Ringo in the enemy team, it still after all, makes fountain of renewal's active skill heal more, so yeah!

Tips and Tricks ( 3 ) Top

1. Obviously, Catherine is a very good chaser. So always chase when possible, unless you don't know where your enemies are. Then don't.

2. Torch your jungle up, trust me, it will be useful. Just don't use more than 3 mines.

3. Use your ultimate to snipe fleeing enemy down! But try not to if you can catch him, since the chances of working are quite low.

4. Do this combo: blast Tremor, merciless pursuit, StormGuard, merciless pursuit. It will start a teamfight... In your favour. Just make sure to use blast tremor in a bush.

5. Use merciless pursuit to see if bushes are hiding anyone. Just quickly dip out of it when you go in.

6. Always stun enemies when you see a chance. You will get one armor for your heroic perk.

The end...? ( 4 ) Top

That's the end of the Catherine's guide! I know, it's quite short. But I'll be making a weapon power Catherine soon. So do ' look forward ' to it, just don't ' look back '. You will sprain your neck.


Q: why did it take so long to make this guide, even though it's quite short and bad?! >:(
A: it's bedause im slacking. And testing builds.
