Lore
Unlike the friendly moon elves, night levels were born into a world of darkness which casts a gloom on and twists their personalities. They offer their services as assassins to the other races, as all night elves are born killers. Karina is a standout among them.
Introduction
This hero reminds me of League of Legends Katarina. One of the most popular hero that is very easy to use yet rewarding to get pentakill and MvP. From the mechanics I’ve learn in playing her, I want to share to you a guide on playing Karina and how can dominate the game using her.
Pros
+Cooldown reset skill
+Burst AoE damage
+Immunity buffs
+Hybrid of physical and magical damage output
Cons
-No Crowd control
-Melee unlike with most spell caster
-Squishy
-Low Mobility
Skills
Combo Hit – After attacking a target twice in a row, the third attack will deal extra true damage equal to %8 of Hp already lost by the enemy. (passive)
Elusiveness – Karina enters a state of Elusiveness for 3 seconds, making her immune to basic attacks and raising movement speed by 35%. Her next basic attack in this state will deal an extra 165 physical damage and a guaranteed critical strike.
Dance of Death – Brandishes double swords, dealing 260 magic damage to surrounding enemies.
Shadow Rush – Makes 1 attacks in a row on a target, dealing 460 magic damage to the target. If the enemy is killed within 5 seconds, the cooldown time for this ability will end immediately. An assist will lower the cooldown by 80%.
Item Build
Calamity Scythe – +70 Magic power / +400 mana / +10% Cooldown Reduction / Calamity : After using an ability, the next basic attack will carry an extra 150% magic damage. This effect has a 2 seconds cooldown time.
Magic Shoes – +40 Movement speed / 10% cooldown reduction. You need to improve your movement as soon as possible as she is low in mobility.
Frost – +75 Magic Power / +15 Mana Regen / +7% Movement Speed / Freeze : Skills that damage an enemy hero will carry a 10% slow down effect. This effect lasts 3 seconds and can stack up to 3 times. Due to Karina has no CC in her kit, you need this item that gives crowd control on every ability she cast against her target.
