Jungle Weird but works

Jungle Katarina

How to play this build

In the jungle, Shunpo (E) between camps to clear fast and gank when you can reset your cooldowns on a kill. In fights, wait for your team's CC and drop the ult (Death Lotus): with Gunblade and AP you delete multiple targets.

Skill order

Max priority:

Q Cuchilla Rebotante → E Salto Umbral → W Acero Siniestro

The ultimate (R) is always leveled at 6, 11 and 16.

Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18
Q	Q			Q	Q		Q	Q
W			W											W	W		W	W
E		E							E	E		E	E
R						R					R					R

Why this order: Q for damage and better bounces after a reset; Shunpo (E) second for gank mobility. W at 1 point.

Items and what they do

Spirit of the Spectral Wraith AP jungle item: power, CDR, spellvamp and strong sustain while clearing.
Hextech Gunblade Hybrid AD/AP with lifesteal and spellvamp; active slows and damages at range.
Rabadon's Deathcap The biggest AP item in the game: multiplies your total AP.
Zhonya's Hourglass AP and armor; stasis active makes you invulnerable and untargetable for a couple seconds.
Sorcerer's Shoes Boots with magic penetration.

Masteries: how they work

In Season 3 you have up to 30 points (at level 30) to split across three trees: Offense (damage), Defense (durability) and Utility (mana, cooldown reduction and mobility). The notation 21/0/9 means 21 points in Offense, 0 in Defense and 9 in Utility.

Masteries: 21/9/0 — Offense
Why this page: 21/9/0 gives burst with durability to dive in and reset.
Runes: Magic pen, armor, AP quints
