Karina is a assassin hero with medium difficulty. This is a live guide — win rate, pick rate and counter data refresh every 6 hours from real ranked matches.
Updated · live data refreshed 48 minutes ago · every 6 hours
Karina works well with heroes who can pull enemies together, such as Tigreal and Faramis, since her Ultimate and 2nd Skill also hits anyone near her main target, setting them up to be chain killed by her Ultimate.
Karina is countered by Tanky heroes with CC abilities, like Akai and Khufra because they can tank her damage, and protect their allies from her.
Level up in this order when playing Karina:
Dance of Death
Dance of Blades
Shadow Combo
Killer from the Dark Elf tribe who is fighting to rescue her sister Selena.
Karina's third consecutive attack on the same enemy deals extra True Damage equal to 100 plus 5 (+2.5% Total Magic Power)% of their lost HP (up to 2000 True Damage against creeps). If the target is an enemy hero, the cooldowns of Karina's non-Ultimate skills are reduced by 1.5s.
Karina enters the Dance of Blades state for 3.5s, during which she gains 45% extra Movement Speed, blocks all incoming Basic Attacks, and reflects 100 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage back to the attacker (the damage reflection effect has a cooldown of 0.4s). Karina's next Basic Attack within the duration deals 150 (+55% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage, slows the target by 45% for 1s, and is guaranteed to Crit. Casting the enhanced Basic Attack or Shadow Assault ends the Dance of Blades state early.
Karina launches a spinning slash, dealing 375 (+125% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to nearby enemies.
Karina dashes to the target enemy hero, dealing them 350 (+160% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage, applying a Shadow Mark to them, and leaving a Shadowform behind them. The Shadow Mark and Shadowform both last 5s. If the enemy dies within the duration, the cooldown of this skill is reset. Use Again: Karina dashes back to the Shadowform's location, dealing 150 (+50% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies along the way.
Skill Order: Prioritise skills in this order — Skill 3 → Skill 2 → Skill 1.

In teamfights, close in on the enemy using Karina's 1st Skill and cut into their formation with her Ultimate. Use her 2nd Skill for a quick AOE followed by her Ultimate to dash back to her Shadowform. Finally, use her 1st Skill again and enhanced Basic Attacks to chase down enemies.

In the laning phase, use Karina's 1st Skill first to enter the Dance of Blades state and pounce on the enemy using the dash from her enhanced Basic Attack. Follow up with her 2nd Skill and Basic Attacks to trigger her Passive.

Battle Spell. Retribution is what you need to use, especially with Karina because you can level up slowly if you rely on your teammates and they don't have an advantage because you can easily defeat them if you are still weak.
