Mid Pure memeAP one-shot Katarina
How to play this build
Poke with Bouncing Blade (Q) and look for windows for the full combo: Q, Shunpo (E) to close, DFG + Gunblade and channel the ult on the marked target. If you get the kill, Shunpo and the ult reset: reposition and repeat. Zhonya lets you channel the ult safely mid-fight.

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.
