Overview

Katalina is the first character in the game the player obtains, and acts as a pure support character. Despite having low offensive presence, the amount of support she provides is invaluable for newer players and will be a staple on many of early teams. She falls off when her utility is no longer needed, however.

Synergy

As Katalina has virtually no offensive presence, she will greatly appreciate debuffs and characters with offensive presence. They will appreciate her as well, as she helps them live longer.
