Cómo ganarle a Karthus

Rol habitual: Jungle / Mid

El mejor counter de Karthus en Jungla es Bel'Veth: 58.5% de victorias en 180 partidas clasificatorias, parche 26.21.

A scaling mage whose global ultimate executes low targets anywhere on the map.

Por qué Karthus es un peligro

Karthus spams Q for poke and farm, slows and shreds resists in his E aura, and his global ultimate hits your entire team after a channel — every low-HP member dies wherever they are. Even dead, he keeps casting for several seconds. He outscales almost everything if left alone.

Cómo jugar contra Karthus

• 1Back before you're low: recall at 40%+ HP when his ult is up, or you die crossing the map.
• 2His Q hits harder on isolated targets — stand near minions/allies to halve it.
• 3Walk away from his corpse: the passive keeps casting for 7 seconds after death.
• 4Invade and end early — he's a weak early jungler and needs farm.

Debilidades que puedes castigar

• ✓Very weak early game, especially in the jungle.
• ✓No mobility and almost no CC — dives kill him for free.
• ✓His ult is countered by heals, shields and Zhonya's timed on the channel.
• ✓Needs items and levels — deny farm and he's a minion.

Habilidades y cómo contrarrestarlas

Qué hace cada habilidad de Karthus — y cómo jugar alrededor de ella.

• P
  Desafío a la muerte

  Al morir, Karthus adopta una forma de espíritu que le permite seguir lanzando hechizos.

  Strong: after dying he keeps casting free spells for 7 seconds. Weak: just walk out of his corpse's range — don't stand in the death zone.

• Q
  Sembrar la destrucción

  Karthus desata una explosión retardada en una ubicación, lo que daña a los enemigos cercanos. El daño infligido aumenta contra enemigos aislados.

  Strong: spammable poke that deals double damage to an isolated target. Weak: halve it by standing near minions or allies.

• W
  Muro de dolor

  Karthus crea una pantalla traspasable que roba energía. Cualquier enemigo que la atraviese verá reducidas durante un período de tiempo su velocidad de movimiento y su resistencia mágica.

  Strong: a wide slow-and-shred wall that sets up his kite. Weak: pure utility, no damage — dash through or around it.

• E
  Profanación

  Karthus roba energía de forma pasiva a sus víctimas, cuyas muertes le proporcionan maná. También puede optar por rodearse con las almas de sus presas, lo que inflige daño a los enemigos cercanos a costa de un alto coste de maná.

  Strong: an AoE aura that melts melee attackers standing on him. Weak: it drains his mana fast — poke him while it's toggled.

• R
  Réquiem

  Tras concentrar su poder durante 3 s, Karthus inflige daño a todos los campeones enemigos.

  Strong: a global nuke on your ENTIRE team after a 3s channel. Weak: fully counterable — heals, shields, Zhonya's on the channel; don't walk around low.

Objetos

Track his ult timer and don't walk around low. Heals/shields/Zhonya's answer the ultimate. Dive him — he has no escape.
