Here's the highest damage Kat build guide for S12. It's doesn't even need to build a mythic for most of the game lol Best Kat DISCORD: / discord Patreon: / cocho
Although highest damage is great, my playstyle is very raidboss oriented, I love healing hence why I always go riftmaker, but I havent played really at all since durability changes. Man I just miss my gunblade into oblivion orb (+15 pen is so broken looking back at it for 1500) into rabadons or void
i love to play the same way since the s11 changes i actually found it more fun than gunblade oneshot meta ,but riftmaker is just so pathetic bad right now it was already trash before the nerfs
I was carrying games left and right before the durability changes and riftmaker nerfs with Nash>Riftmaker>Shadowflame with sorcs you had 38 magic pen and with sudden impact (I played it sudden impact, eyeball collection secondary) you dealt true dmg to everyone without mr items, healed a lot and the damage felt amazing. The strat was OP. It sad to see how bad it was after all the nerfs
I’ve been going bork + nash + rift recently. The early power spike is insane, and it slows down when getting the nash. This is why I go for more tankyness with the rift. Works pretty well!
What I’ve been theory crafting recently is Bork > Riftmaker > Nashors, I’m not sure if it’s the best I’d need someone to do the math but the 2 items feels so nice because Riftmaker makes your bork damage higher
I keep playing BORK+Death's Dance+Kraken+Ravenous Hydra and It feels undestructible with all the damage+healing+protection I get. All AP items are strong but it lacks sustainability in order to keep killing in a team fight. Kraken could vary on the build thou' for Rocket, but Death Dance for me it's a must
I tried testing rabadons, rocketbelt and lichbane as second items before the durability update and lichbane outdamaged them all with ingenious hunter maxed. I haven't checked them again after the update and i wonder if lichbane as a second item is still viable
You could try First Stike with dominating treasure hunter second. And build rocketbelt - nasher - lich. The damage is insane. Even if you don't get a bunch of kills. You steal 300g in those small teamfights.
I think following this build but replacing nash with lich bane would be the highest damage lich bane build. I did this in a recent game and got like 22 kills in diamond lol I went lich > shadow > rabadons with predator XD
I guess rn theres this full ap build vs squishy comps, tank kat with sunfire/frost or sunderer into ap when versing tanks and bruisers, still dont know when to go tank and when sunderer with ap tbh.
I'm a little confused about tanky/bruiser enemy comps. Would you still go Rocket belt, or which one of following: Riftmaker, / Tsunderer, and if so, which one
Well there’s a lot you could do lol Check out my recent build video. I suggest keeping it simple and only building nash into rocket or rift. So in that case you’d just go rift for tanky comps. But you could do any build XD. Whether its Ad bork build Sunderer > ap Or nash > rift This doesn’t really answer your question because I don’t see the game you are in. So i have no idea. I can only recommend simple builds and whatever you prefer
czcams.com/video/PNDAUfczNZ0/video.html& check out this video. but to answer your question, ad is still good sunderer and sunfire kind of overlap in use case but sunderer vs bruisers/tanks and some burst champs when you want to be more durable. sunfire vs burst champs to be more durable and against champs who are weak to tanks rocketbelt vs squishys and a lot of burst champs that prob made little sense XD I recommend just finding 2 builds you like. 1 for squishys and 1 for tankier teams and sticking to that. I recommend electrocute using nashor into rocketbelt for squishy teams. pair that with conqueror using nashor into riftmaker for more tanky teams.
Check out this video: czcams.com/video/XhvzJRJhhI8/video.html Ludens is kinda weird and wouldn’t be more damage the way I hit the dummies. Even 4 luden procs could be less damage than extra 13/14 ap (item + raba passive) from Rocketbelt and higher base damage+higher scaling on the rocketbelt active. I can’t remember but I’m sure I tried it out, it was less damage on 1 dummy then I moved on and didn’t write anything for it.
@@GozuTob It's pretty close but the way I setup the dummy and did the combos means that rocketbelt will deal more damage. Here's a second video showing that: czcams.com/video/i40MjfKvce4/video.html I'm aware that I can very easily can adjust the combos or number of dummies so that ludens will deal more damage. Ludens is for sure not more damage in all cases.
If you have spare Gold and their team comp not full of cc. Mejai is not only give you 25 cap of stacks but also the mythic passive of 5 magic pen which is already worth half of the 1250g.
@@4ykarq depends on build path and the situation in the game, but i wouldnt imo, i usually go atleast 3rd item minimum cuz it slows ur spike for a while from how much it costs. always go bork or nashors first and then DS/SC/nashors/shadowflame/lich second (depending on build path ofc). I would usually go raba third like bork-nashors-raba or nashors-shadowflame/lich-raba.
I’ll say no but that’s not really the point. this is for burst, you build it for a different reason. Its more comparable to other rocketbelt builds. Its better than sunfire when you are against someone like vayne lol
@@Cocho_Kat yep, it's My opinion, but kat is a really Bad champ Now, and i prefer take sunfire all time, except what u said, vs really squishy team or an Hyper carry
You could do like nashor > rabadons > rocket > zhonyas But realistically you just oneshot and jump out lol no zhonyas with this giga chad build Now whether you want to do that or not is another question XD
So I can keep doing what I always did, Hogwarts’ talking hat after first magic pen item ( or second if). I just want raw power to kill everyone, like a nuke. I enter and people vanish. If only they understand that I prefer a 120 ap rocketbelt rather than a 300hp: to survive should not be the thing to think when playing an assassin, but to kill the targets. It’s our job, or it should be, if only riot games considered ap assassins as, well, assassins.
I skip better the Mysthic, theres no real benefit. Boots, Nashors, Lich are the Key for the Kit. Shadow and Raba for Assassin DMG because we are an Assassin. And mostly always its Void to round it up, forget the forcing Mythic because no Mythic suits Kata.
There's been a lot of AD changes and Sunderer changes in S12, just ignore anything AD lol
pain xD
this videos have so much value and effort in them, thank you so much for your work

Thank you dude. I dont main Kata, but i enjoy the champ a lot and this is going to help. Great video.

@@lefroste6370 Yeah its pretty bad which is unfortunate, along with vamp being nerfed so hard its basically a dead build, sadge
then play her with sunderer, she heals for insane amounts sometimes
@@KaTatin I do but didnt it get nerfed recently? I dont play the game much anymore
@@QuantumNetwork For kat it feels more like a buff lol

Vs squishy, and vs all I take sunfire, I feel that Rift maker is really Bad now, need a good buf to be what it have to be
Is Conqueror the go to Keystone with these or can First Strike be used too?
You can use any but my go-to with it is electrocute

Is ad still viable and when? When do you build sunfire or sunderer or belt

check out this video.
but to answer your question, ad is still good
sunderer and sunfire kind of overlap in use case but
sunderer vs bruisers/tanks and some burst champs when you want to be more durable.
sunfire vs burst champs to be more durable and against champs who are weak to tanks
rocketbelt vs squishys and a lot of burst champs
that prob made little sense XD
I recommend just finding 2 builds you like. 1 for squishys and 1 for tankier teams and sticking to that.
I recommend electrocute using nashor into rocketbelt for squishy teams.
pair that with conqueror using nashor into riftmaker for more tanky teams.
i love you
for me the best build is nashor>Boots mp>Rabadon>Lichbane>Protobelt>Shadowflame
cocho recommending shadowflame?????? 😳what did you do with the real cocho
Why didnt you test ludens? It has higher dmg than rocketbelt
Check out this video: czcams.com/video/XhvzJRJhhI8/video.html
Ludens is kinda weird and wouldn’t be more damage the way I hit the dummies.
Even 4 luden procs could be less damage than extra 13/14 ap (item + raba passive) from Rocketbelt and higher base damage+higher scaling on the rocketbelt active.
I can’t remember but I’m sure I tried it out, it was less damage on 1 dummy then I moved on and didn’t write anything for it.
@@Cocho_Kat i tested it. At lvl 12 and 18. The ludens dealt at all cases 200+ more dmg

when would you build zhonya's considering these builds?

Now whether you want to do that or not is another question XD
@@Cocho_Kat mb if u play vs bronze or u just very ahead it would work but in the most games u cant skip zhonyas and do this "giga chad" play
Numbers don't lie.
i build nash rocket demonic rabadon
if you wanna go the demonic route u should get sunfire or riftmaker over rocket but it's each to their own

Still missing my Deathfire Grasp...always in my heart ;__;
So what happened to bork? You said it had the best early game dmg but then completely ignored it for the rest of the video.
Bork goes downhill from there lol. Less dmg than like everything on average target. Should build it when you have too much ap on your team
@@Cocho_Kat Yeah but it is also anti-tank. I also can melt squishy targets like yasou if I rush Bork early game.
