PASSIVE VORACITY
Whenever an enemy champion dies that Katarina has damaged recently, her remaining ability cooldowns are dramatically reduced. If Katarina picks up a Dagger, she uses it to slash through all nearby enemies, dealing magic damage.

Abilities
Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.
1 BOUNCING BLADE
Katarina throws a Dagger at the target that then bounces to nearby enemies before ricocheting onto the ground.
2 PREPARATION
Katarina gains a burst of movement speed, tossing a Dagger into the air directly above herself.
3 SHUNPO
Katarina blinks to a location near a Dagger or unit, dealing damage to the nearest enemy. Picking up a Dagger reduces Shunpo's cooldown.
ULTIMATE DEATH LOTUS
Katarina becomes a flurry of blades, dealing damage over time and applying healing reduction. Katarina is able to slowly reposition for a short time.
