SunLongGod says “one of the easiest matchup. no mobility, squishy and has no hard CC. He can't slow you, can't ult you with your Q or W is up. weak to invade early game”

Ezikko says “Literally free, just invade him, ask for you laners to come with you, and he wont do anything all game. In order for him to win he has to be like 1 or 2 items lead and play with his team.”

Apari1010 says “Definitely an easier matchup for Shadow Assassin but Rhaast does just fine into him. Early game you beat him, try to match where he goes on the map and prevent him from doing anything. If you get on top of him, he's going straight back to fountain.”

Sh4dow44 says “Free matchup even if u dont invade him early. U can easily outsustain as red and outdmg as blue”

BradJr says “He is a very easy target to kill at any point in the game. As long as his team doesn't help him, you should easily out-scale him. (clone rating 4/10)”

FaeBytez says “Karthus lacks mobility and can be easily kited by Diana. However, Diana needs to be careful not to get caught by his Requiem ultimate.”
ttvRegedice says “If he runs exhaust this matchup becomes hard. Karthus can afk farm to carry the game when you have to be proactive on the map. If you slip up he's only going to be clearing more, so he can quickly gain level leads. Be prepared to invade with your team if you have lane prio, otherwise make sure to secure objectives early so you have something to scale alongside by while he has his gazillion damage ultimate brewing up in 20 minutes. Becareful invading as if you 3 camp and run into his jungle he would be finishing his 5th game and going to his 6th if he's clearing well. Ping your team for a rlly good leash to make the invade in time.”

Virizion says “Considered the easiest matchup for Nocturne. You can run him down in his own jungle during his first clear as this is his weak point. Be careful as he does run Exhaust most of the time and he will beat you if he hits all Qs”
Nocturne Guide 13.7 by Virizion | Nocturne Player
PerfectPower says “Full clear champs are terrifying because counter-jungling is back in the meta as of patch 13.5. Ask laners for wards in your entrances and make sure to gank or you'll fall behind. ”

DJBASSANGEL says “AP based so he will be tough to battle, simply put, if karthus is a good player, gg go next, if its not a good karth, u always win, since his Q is the only dmg output really except for ult”

Tips Against Karthus in Bottom Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

LoLEnryu says “Cleanse is a MUST vs Karthus because 99% of Karthus bot lane players will take exhaust and they will pair an engage support with karthus most of the time. Cleanse will do wonders in the match-up and hexdrinker early is recommended. Eclipse will definitely help you survive 2v2 bot lane better since the shield will protect you from Karthus R lethal after you guys fight and end up killing the Karthus. Make sure to time your Nilah E ability (both charges) with Karthus Q so that you can dodge at least 2 Karthus Q's in a fight. Match up can be harder if your support is massively gapped which makes it seem hard but if you are duo or if you can communicate in chat without tilting your support: please tell your support to walk up and bait with their HP so you can free hit karthus while they focus your support. A fight like this should always be winning for Nilah.”
Hidden Ghoster says “This is similar to Varus/Similar poke lanes. Dodge his Q's and don't take any bad trades. Also take MR. Ghost is very optimal here because you will need that Movement Speed to engage/disengage fights.”

I Am Not u says “For some reason, this clown is in Bot Lane. honestly, he's not too bad. He's incredibly immobile, and his weird wall doesn't affect your jump, only when you get out. And when you kill him, you can jump out of his range. Just don't play like an idiot.”

SheriffADC says “Easy to all-in since he is unmobile and has no hard CC. Laning is just annoying because he has better poke and pushes waves fast. NOTE: do not level up Blade Whirl until level 4 since he has no projectiles other than autoattacks (if the enemy support has a hook then you can level it up at level 3).”
Lachoni1 says “Karthus is not an easy lane. You need to dodge all of his Q and even if you are ahead, play save since he has way too much damage. ”

LewisTheRat says “I'd recommend running ghost as it makes it insanely hard to land his q for him. When he dies, he can keep using his spell for 7 seconds so be careful, try to kite him always.”

slendoooo says “Karthus is only problematic level 1, because you don't really have a way to dodge his Q's. So avoid fighting him at that level and wait for your level 2, when you can use W it makes it easier to dodge his Q's. And late game when he can damage you and your whole team with his ultimate. But most games won’t get that, because Karthus ADC players tend to play hyper aggressive and Draven profits from that. You can also look to buy an early maw or mercs for extra protection. A video example of Karthus-Draven Matchup: (To be made)”
KnobHobbler says “Can be frustrating to play against if you can't dodge Q's. You win all 1v1s. Try to zone him off his minions to reduce his gold intake. If scared of his R build Wits End.”

V1kt0r555 says “[Don't get poked by his Q] [Avoid passing through his W] [Warn your team when he is lvl 6]”
Zeusman00 says “Very annoying champ to face, Q poke is very annoying and he will outscale you, avoid being hit by solo Q's and try to poke with your own or make very quick and brief trades while dodging.”

qkthr1 says “karthus, as with lane karthus vs jg viego is dangerous in the right hands. his wall and other ability tank whatever protection you had. build maw of mal in this comp btw. thankfully most karthus players in low elo arent great so you can still do well. His Q is really annoying because it has no cooldown, so you cant consistently W dodge it, and his aura thing prevents you from aggressing successfully. thankfully, he isnt played mid often and is less of a threat if hes adc or jg.”
Anguish333 says “- Dodge his Q's - Most of the time he will play with exhaust so wait it out before making combo - Don't stay on low hp since he can ult you - Whenever he gets level 6 ping it for your team, so he doesnt get free kills. Do that whenever one of your teammates is on low hp”
Painters says “Very easy to beat. He's extremely slow. Just respect his passive once he's dead and you'll be in the clear. BUY ZHONYAS”

Zoe by AnxialSociety | Zoe Player
Deru says “In general karthus is good against your champ because flipping a karthus into your team is just troubleful. In lane he's easily stompable tho so try to solokill him or ask for jungler's help since he is an immobile mage.”
