How to Play Karina

Karina is an excellent pick for players who want to play an aggressive assassin role and deal high amounts of burst damage to enemies.

• Use skill 1 (Dance of Blades) to increase her Movement Speed by 45% and block all Basic Attacks. Use skill 2 (Dance of Death) to deal AoE damage.
• Use skill 3 (Shadow Assault) to quickly take down enemy heroes.

Tactics

Early game (level 1-7):

• Karina is relatively weak and vulnerable to enemy attacks. Focus on farming and gaining experience to level up quickly.

Mid game (level 8-12):

• Focus on building core items to increase damage output and mobility. Use ultimate ability in team fights to quickly burst down enemy heroes.

Late game (level 13+):

• Karina becomes a deadly assassin who can eliminate enemy heroes in team fights. Target out-of-position or low-health enemies to secure kills for the team.

Karina Skills

Shadow Combo Dance of Blades Dance of Death Shadow Assault

Passive – Shadow Combo:

• Karina does additional True Damage on her third attack in a row against the same foe. Cooldowns of non-Ultimate abilities are shortened by 1.5 seconds if the target is an enemy hero.

Dance of Blades – Skill 1:

• Karina enters the Dance of Blades state for 3.5 seconds, increasing movement speed, deflecting magic damage, and blocking basic attacks. Basic attacks during this period slow the target, deal Magic Damage, and land a critical hit.

Dance of Death – Skill 2:

• Karina unleashes a spinning slash, dealing Magic Damage to adjacent enemies.

Shadow Assault – Skill 3:
