Plegian Katarina Skills at 5★


Might: 14  Range: 2
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit is not adjacent to an ally, inflicts penalty on foe’s Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat - 5 + any current penalty on each of those stats. (Example: if foe has -7 penalty to Atk, inflicts Atk-12, for a net penalty of Atk-19 during combat.) Calculates each stat penalty independently.

Cooldown Count = 3
Treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 50% during combat.

If unit is not adjacent to an ally, grants Atk/Spd +7 during combat.

At start of turn, inflicts Def/Res-5 on foe on the enemy team with the highest Def+Res total through its next action.

Inflicts Atk/Res-4 on foes within 2 spaces during combat.

Plegian Katarina Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (17) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (25) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (10) Spd Bane ★★★★★
Def (3) Def Bane ★★☆☆☆
Res (6) Res Bane ★★☆☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

See the IV Checker for All Units Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

+Spd/-Def

The best IVs for Plegian Katarina are +Spd and -Def. A higher Spd stat allows Katarina to get a ton of follow-up attacks on her foes. More importantly, it will also protect her from hostile follow-up attacks. Her Def is very low and is of less importance as she is mainly an offensive unit so it is safe to take as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Plegian Katarina to 10. It is best to aim for follow-up attacks to increase her offensive ability as her Atk combined with her debuffs is already high. If you prefer relying on skills to increase Katarina's Spd, you can go for a +Atk IV instead.

Plegian Katarina Best Builds

Refined Offensive Plegian Katarina

HOT
Attuned Skill IconSly Echo
Updated on 08/08/2025

How to Use, Explanation

This build uses premium offensive skills to have Katarina deal the most damage possible, while providing support through the Share Spoils+ debuff applied at the start of each turn.

Budget Plegian Katarina

Special Skill IconLuna
Emblem Icon: -
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

This budget build simply adds Smite and a Chill Spd 3 Sacred Seal. Smite is for making sure allied units are away from Plegian Katarina. It will be useful in compact maps that force units to be very close to one another. Chill Spd will allow her to score more follow-up attacks on foes. Take note that the debuff of Chill Spd will be doubled by Fell Flambeau.

Plegian Katarina Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Plegian Katarina's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
Enables 【Canto (Rem.; Min 1)】.
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25% or if number of allies adjacent to unit ≤ 1, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 on foe, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = highest penalty on each stat between target and foes within 2 spaces of target (calculates each stat penalty independently), and deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd during combat (excluding area-of- effect Specials).
At start of turn, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Spd/Res-7, 【Panic】, and 【Share Spoils+】 on closest foes and foes within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions.
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Fell Flambeau

Refined Fell Flambeau inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 and a foe penalty doubler effect onto Katarina's opponents in combat and grants her Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, bonus true damage equal to 20% of her Spd, +7 true damage reduction on her foe's first attack, and a Null Follow-Up effect.

More importantly, at the start of each turn, refined Fell Flambeau inflicts Spd/Res-7, 【Panic】, and 【Share Spoils+】 on the closest foes to Katarina and foes within 2 spaces of those foes

【Share Spoils+】 is a nice status effect to inflict onto multiple foes, allowing your team to defeat a unit and gain an extra action for the first enemy with this status effect defeated in combat. This can allow for new strategies that aren't otherwise available without refining Fell Flambeau.

Plegian Katarina is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Plegian Katarina Strengths

Fell Flambeau inflicts Panic and Share Spoils+ onto multiple foes

Refined Fell Flambeau inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 and a foe penalty doubler effect onto Katarina's opponents in combat and grants her Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, bonus true damage equal to 20% of her Spd, +7 true damage reduction on her foe's first attack, and a Null Follow-Up effect.

More importantly, at the start of each turn, refined Fell Flambeau inflicts Spd/Res-7, 【Panic】, and 【Share Spoils+】 on the closest foes to Katarina and foes within 2 spaces of those foes

【Share Spoils+】 is a nice status effect to inflict onto multiple foes, allowing your team to defeat a unit and gain an extra action for the first enemy with this status effect defeated in combat. This can allow for new strategies that aren't otherwise available without refining Fell Flambeau.

Plegian Katarina Weaknesses

Weak to bows and low Def

As a flying unit, Plegian Katarina takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units. To make things worse for her, her Def stat is very low so a shot from a powerful bow unit is fatal!

Plegian Katarina as a Source Hero

Plegian Katarina Avatar

Value of Skills ★★★☆☆

Inheriting Chill Def/Res 2 or Atk/Res Rein 3

Plegian Katarina can be used to inherit Chill Def/Res 2 or Atk/Res Rein 3. However, Plegian Katarina is a very versatile special hero that can provide lots of utility and debuffs for your lineups. Please think carefully before fodderring her off.

You can also inherit Atk/Spd Solo 4 from her, but you can get that from a lot of other units. Her 2 other skills are much rare than said skill. If you prefer, you can inherit Atk/Spd Solo 3 to her beforehand and get both Atk/Spd Solo 4 and one of Chill Def/Res 2 or Atk/Res Rein 3.
