Tips Against Karthus in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
“Karthus is a full clear jungler who just wants to power farm and get huge. You easily 1v1 him however escaping his passive may be hard. You should look to invade and take camps away from him. If you can deny his blue buffs then he will struggle.”
“A skill matchup. If the karthus is good, it may be game for you. Very hard to engage on due to his large AOE damage and Amumu isn't particularly strong against AP champions. Furthermore, even if you do happen to kill him, he'll probably be able to kill you as well in his death animation.”
“Karthus is another champion who is only really a problem at the top of the ladder. He generally power farms a lot, so it shouldn't be too hard to find him in his jungle and 100-0, especially post 6. ”
“Dodge his Q, stack MR and run him down. You clear almost as fast as he does”
“You can invade Karthus on early game, he's weaker than you're. Buy a stopwatch on early to protect yourself from his R.”
“Pretty easy matchup, you can clear just as fast as Karthus, and farming is Karthus's strength. You can easily kill him if you get on top of him, however his Wall of Pain slow is very obnoxious and can cockblock you quite a bit. You can gank better than Karthus, and you are more mobile so you can be more active around map. However this matchup will be extremely difficult to win if you let him scale, as he will demolish your team.”
“Top winrate vs Rammus, so he must be nasty. I rarely have big problems bursting him down and countering him with MR. ”
“You both powerfarm. If you ever find him after six you can kill him easily, and if you find him before six you can usually outplay him.”
“Karthus is very immobile and squishy at start of the game. Kindred almost one shots Karthus and it's not that hard to dodge his q's.”
“Immobile, you kill him fast with CC. If you happen to get down inside his E then your passive will not survive. Be a bit careful about that.”
“karthus can power farm and outscale Jarvan but cannot defend aginst his R.”
“É a mesma coisa do Ekko
Ele é realmente fácil, problema é só desviar da maioria dos Q durante o invade que você mata ele tranquilo.
Mesmo rush do ekko
Passos de Mercúrio+Sabre de Batalha Encantamento: Guerreiro
”
“Karthus can feel strong at times, but his Q has a very small hitbox, and all the rest of his damage requires him to be RIGHT up on you to do it. Use your range, keep mobile, and you should be fine for the most part. ”
“Same for Rek'Sai, Skarner, Kindred, you don't see him much anymore, but if so, don't get him fed, or your game is lost. With full build he can ULT - pentakill, so be careful vs him, but he shouldn't be any strong counter..”
“Eve shits on Karthus”
“Outscales you, outdamages you and clears even faster than you. Not a counter by definition, but still insanely overtuned and most of all AP. You can try to invade his frog at level 2 if he starts blue buff on red side. Building MR, permanently invading him and trying to set him behind is a must. I recommend going Phase Rush and trying to get Herald to end the game quickly.”
“Pretty easy to kill but he deals a lot of damage and can return a kill if you don't dodge his abilities
Look to invade him early game”
“As long as you punish him in his jungle early and dont let him get ahead you are ok. However if you dont he becomes very tough for you to deal with solo. You can Rappel his ultimate though and you will take no damage.”
“Not a problem as long as you block his Ultimate with your W.”
“Karthus is free food. He does not stand a chance 1v1. Ghost makes him a free kill every time. There is the threat of him becoming fed but there is not much he can do to stop you from killing him.”
“Karthus has a lot of damage but is easily countered with MR. Karthus also has very low mobility. Watch for his slow.”
“This champ is really braindead afk farm, so just invade him and kill him. He'll definitely flash away, so try and save your second q for his flash. You might want to get a stopwatch for his ult, he's gonna afk farm and then penta unless you can survive it.”
“He scales harder than you, and it can be tough for you to run him down and kill him since you are slow. The other issue is that in a team fight killing him doesn't take away his damage, he can still hit Q's and then ULT to help his team. Not easy to shut down.”
“You need to counter him as much as possible in early as he outscales you hard and in AD you cannot do anything against him in late without dying.”
“Pretty strong in late with a huge potential of teamfight but overall you can win easily.”
“You one shot him, and you can use your W to gap close if he tries to slow you with his wall. You can also block his ultimate.”
“Unfortunately, this champ is overpowered currently and he can carry the game even if you kill him several times. He does a ton of damage, outfarms you and outscales you. Try to abuse him if he mispositions since he has no escapes.”
“[6/10] Another matchup where it can be decided based on your proactivity. If you let Karthus farm up and don’t pressure him/lanes early-game, then you may struggle as the game progresses. Look to place aggressive wards whenever you can, and try to get early ganks off before he reaches 6, also before he can pick up his core items since your base stats will be much more impactful early than his. Q evolve should be good to quickly DPS him but R can be a viable choice as well. Prioritize lethality items such as Ghostblade and Edge of Night instead of Cleaver in your build as long as there aren’t many tanks, so that you can deal with him quickly.”
“Nonthreatening. Karthus will probably stay in his own jungle playing farm simulator. You're fast enough to easily avoid his skittles. He can force your flash if he catches you in his W while yours is down, however, so respect him until it's available if you run into eachother in the early game. Post 6 he is easily gobbled up if you ever find him. If lane priority is favorable, feel free to go hunting. And make sure never to try to kill that one last camp if you're below 200 health. You never know when he may randomly ult. ”
“This jungler is a power farm jungler.
Most of the time you'll have to ruin his first side.
If he goes blue, you'll have to do red and go to his wolves or gromp.
If he goes red, you should go to his blue.
Put him behind as much as possible and farm his jungle.
”
“Karthus isn't mobile at all and can be one shot fairly easily.”
“If you can, try to nick his blue, if you can't, you've messed up. His early game is weak and he can't really gank, but you can't outfight him unless he's very low on mana.
Late game he becomes stronger but so do you.”
“Not really a problem, only thing is that if you're low, he can kill you with his R.”
“He's only a problem because of his R. You may get fairly low from a lot of ganks and karthus can, therefore clean you up. If you fight him 1v1 he will lose very fast.”
“Karthus out farms you, out ganks you, out scales you, one shots you with 2 items. Literally just a better champ than you in the jungle. Just pray he dies a couple times and take off with a lead. Best of luck, Summoner. ”
“Dodge his q, stun him up, kill him easily. Not bad at all unless he's fed and chunking you hard. His w can be a nuisance but get past that and he has nothing to fight you off if you can kill him quick enough.”
“You can easily proc Phase Rush and just run around him and deny his slow.”
“Not that much experience with this matchup, but what I have fought has leaned towards a skill matchup. If you know how to clear jungle more efficiently than he could, which shouldn't be too hard, then you can win objective control.
”
“Minor threat if Gold and below. High Elo Karthus are more adapt at hitting Q's on targets with mobility spells and Udyr just runs slightly faster. Take aftershock and unflinching and try to catch him doing a camp. Never run directly at him and build bruiser as he will aim to teamfight. Invade him often to avoid him attempting to powerfarm gold and XP.”
“Shove him in early and invest in early boots to dodge his Qs. Getting a zhonya's later in the game can be very effective into his ult. Make sure to spam ping when he hits level 6 so your team knows he may ult. ”
“Karthus is a "tempo jungler", meaning he looks to powerfarm. Watch out, as a good karthus will invade you the second he sees you on the map, if your camps are up. Look to invade, you're stronger, but you need to dodge a few Qs. Look to fight for scuttles. Don't randomly invade, only do it when you know where he is.”
“I wouldn't pick Graves against a heavy AP comp, because he is very squishy, and his E armor becomes useless.”
“His ult procs his DH stacks so as the game progresses he'll do more dmg.
Honestly he out damages you almost all levels.”
“Favorable match-up. Maintain a lead against Karthus and you will be able to one-shot him almost all game until he gets zhonyas. His strength is in his ability to clear camps. Keep in mind of his ults before ganking.”
“this guy starves for mana early and is pretty much similar to you. just keep some distance.”
“His Single Target dmg on his Q can hurt, but just dodge his Wall of Pain to not be slowed and have you magic resistance shredded. Your ult can counteract his, and your mobility and speed can let you kite out his abilities.”
“My personal ban. Karthus outscales you HARD late-game, and his AP damage will make Swiss cheese out of you in teamfights. Your only chance is to invade him super early as he has the fastest but unhealthiest clear out of all the junglers in LoL. If you don't grab a hard lead the game will be over.”
“It's not likely that you will see him in low elo, but if so, invade vigorously and keep hopping out of his Qs. Counter his ult with yours.”
“One of the only jg's YOU can invade. he wants to full clear and he normally starts blue, so if you don't see any available ganks after red side clear, go blue and go to his red and kill him, should be around there somewhere”
“One of the only jg's YOU can invade. he wants to full clear and he normally starts blue, so if you don't see any available ganks after red side clear, go blue and go to his red and kill him, should be around there somewhere”
“Just dump this guy by engaging him in his jungle at early levels.”
“Early game very week and does full clear to reach lvl 6. You can invade his camps and get out before laners react. You can get drags easily and rift hearlds. You can also steal drags with q+smite and karthus cant out smite that.However his lvl 6 global ult can be devastating and can get kills. He scales extremely well, I recommend to build some mr or he can just pop you if you get 30% hp.”
“Invade him as much as possible because if he farms enough and you happen to get to late game, he'll just skill on your team by pressing R and deleting everyone.”
“Just invade him and destroy his early game, is a free kill for you”
“Try to set him behind early and snowball. Don't let him scale. ”
“Early game he is a tiny threat but late game can hurts.”
“free kill, you can actually dodge all his abilities!”
“Imagine Amumu with no actual CC other than a slow, that also is a squishy champion and has no escapes. This is a gift from gods.”
“Anyone uses Karthus mid, but is very. very easy, maybe easier than swain. In the Jg invade him, its very asy to you in the jungle too”
“Karthus isa big trouble. Adding to that Karthus farms his Jungle really quickly, so maybe he could invade you early on”
“Gank runes
He has better clear but gets low during his first clear, invade him”
“Karthus can be a hassle to be against since he can scale greatly and needs farm. Be sure to find opportunities to invade his jungle and deny him any camps. Once it's late game and he has levels and items be ready for a long fight.”
“Not that much experience with this matchup, but what I have fought has leaned towards a skill matchup. If you know how to clear jungle more efficiently than he could, which shouldn't be too hard, then you can win objective control.”
“Rush boots of swiftness, not a big deal. ”
“one of the better matchups, you can invade him in earlier phases, as he is weak early.”
“Read below in the matchup section for more info!”
“Spook him and he can't actually hurt you.”
“The definition of lane difference creates jungle difference. If you've got 3 loosing lanes you can't punish him and he will just go for 10cs/minute while "counterganking" his winning lane with one button. In this case your only hope is catching him offguard later on and bursting him down.
On the other hand if you get winning lanes or the winning lanes are evenly distributed you can abuse your lane prios to fk him up in his jungle really hard while ganking your strong side. Honestly if you go Tiamat you can play Camille like you would have Nidalee in this case.
Herald is really good against Karthus because missing towers force him to give up camps to avoid getting invaded which gives you bonus ressources.”
“Easy matchup. You will one tap him! Take care about his ult, don't be in low hp or buy zhonya.”
“He does alot of damage to you when u dont stack mr. Be careful of his passiv and avoid it.”
“This champion, although weak early, can become a bit of a problem late game after he builds Zhonyas and gets a little bit of AP, as with one button press he can ensure that your entire team has 2/3s HP disadvantage in fights. He's pretty easy to handle if put behind though.”
“You can catch him easily in early game, but don't forget that he scales really hard. You have to denie him with calculated invade.”
“Most of the times you'll try to do an invade, so junglers with great lvl 1 like Karthus are a big trouble. Adding to that Karthus farms his Jungle really quickly, so maybe you won't have enough time to farm the Scuttler before he gets there”
“Karthus isn't a really big threat to you. He will most likely just be hard farming in the early game until he reaches level 6. If you get the chance to invade him and take some camps or even take his life you should really take the opportunity. ”
“Karthus isn't a really big threat to you. He will most likely just be hard farming in the early game until he reaches level 6. If you get the chance to invade him and take some camps or even take his life you should really take the opportunity. ”

“CHAMPION MATCH UP.
✅ WARWICK 47 % WR✅
VS
KARTHUS 53 % WR ”
“Karthus power farms the jungle and you cannot farm as fast as him. You can however use your early game to get a ganking advantage. ”
“His constant ranged spam can be a problem if he manages to harass you safely. However, once on him, his damage is not enough to get over your healing, and your speed will make it quite difficult for him to hit you anyway. Your ult completely shuts him down, and due to his mobility, flash is his only chance. By using your E, you are also likely to survive his ultimate even after he is dead and you can no longer use him for HP.”
“Out farms you quite hard and can counter jungle you quite well if you show. Try and duel him early or get a huge lead otherwise your doomed.”
“You have a really better early game, but he can earn some free kills on the map. Just get a Maw against him, no choice.”
“JUNGLE: Karthus jungle is one of those picks that tries to farm, but is good at fighting people in certain scenarios. His q damage is pretty good early, so be careful where you engage him. The best strategy to attack him is trying to oneshot him from bushes. It is also advisable to be semi-close to a hoppable wall or a bomb plant to give yourself an escape after, as his passive makes it impossible to stick around and farm his camps after he dies.
MID AND TOP: Here, you want to make sure to ward for people coming to help karth, then proceed to clap this man's cheeks early. He has no mobility, and he can't dodge well placed spears easily. Just keep moving and don't get caught being poked down.
ADC: ADC and SUP: Karthus is the same as solo laning, other than that he has a support to protect him. However, you have to watch out for the support distracting you are cc'ing you. If you start getting nailed by karthus, things get a bit tricky. Remember though, your main goal is to stamp out karthus and not give him the chance to be ahead.”
“Karthus is the easiest match up. Try to invade him early as he is very weak and by killing him/taking his camps you will put him extremely behind. Dodge his Q with your Q. His ultimate should never kill you since your ultimate is on a lower cooldown.”
“Free Win 100%
0 Danger
Live in his Jungle and you win.”
“Early on you can beat him, unless he hits every single q on you, which probably wont happen.”
“crush him hard early so he does not get near mid or late game!”
“Make sure to take advantage of his pre-6 weakness. He has no CC just a a lot of damage. If you can put him behind, this is a free matchup. ”
“Just go ham on him at level 6 and don't stay isolated.”
“invade. nothing he can do”
“Can't do much to you if you slow him down.”
“Easy Peazy, just remember to dodge his Qs, use your resets to get out of his passive, and your E to get the dmg reduction from his Ulti.”
“If he meets you first your 6 in jungle its gonna be hard escaping him because of his q's and w's. If you are vs him try to not use w for moving in jungle and use the snowball for escaping from him.”
“Generaly easy lane. He cant do much against you. Just avoid his q and poke and you will kill him eventually.”
“Not as high as Ekko- but similar issue with the dark harvest procs. Just kill him and run away quickly!”
“Ideal matchup, zero mobility, once he gets stunned you can kill him without your ludens echo”
“Can't do much, you do everything better than him. While fighting him, don't just simply auto attack him, kite him a little bit and don't let him hit free Qs on you.”
“This champ is a poor excuse for a jungler. You simply destroy this guy by just being on the opposite team.”
“karthus has to ability to power farm and he will be a lot more impactful then you in team fights and throughout the game. I usually try to rush level 6 and impact the map as much as possible to snow ball before karthus has time to scale”

“His early game is relatively weak. Look to invade him when safe/possible. Dodge his R with your R.”
“Brand has better level 3 ganks and a better power spike mid game. Hourglass also hard counters Karthus.”
“His E deals a ton of damage if you are 1v1ing him. You can still kill him if you have enough damage to burst him down and get out alive. You can try to counter jungle him, and leave one monster to delay his camp spawn since he mostly relies on hitting 6 and pressing R. DODGE Q since it deals alot of damage to an isolated target.”
“It' all about dodging his q's. Later on, he can oneshot while dead, so try to end game ASAP. Consider early Herald. GA is good option. If you feel confident, try to 1 vs 1 early. ”
“Karthus himself won't typically kill us, but he loves to power farm. To prevent Karthus from scaling you have to invade his jungle often. Steal camps and try to abuse the fact he's squishy. Unfortunately, Sejuani is not good at either of these. Karthus also scales really well. While he isn't a direct threat to us, Sej cannot abuse Karthus' weaknesses very well. The only advantage is the ability to pick or engage once 6, as our team can easily burst him when he's stunned. ”
“He actually can't do anything. Really squishy. Kill him and always meditate when you see his ult late game, as it will deal tons of damage then.”
“Karthus is the freest kill you'll ever get. Dash in, proc your passive and run out of his E before he knows what happened. If he catches you in his W, try to either dash again or move unpredictably. He's a danger to your team come late game, but he's the easiest lane you'll ever have.”
“Very easy match up. Low health and mobility. Farm him.”
“The only thing you need to do it's invade him, he is more immobile than you, just active ghost and f*ck him up.”
“he can kill you after u killed him. thats bad :D”
“Extremely high AP damage, combo'd with a global ulti and things like dark harvest will get you killed. even when you think the fight is over, he can just ult you and it's game over. the only way to kill him would be to cc him and let aftershock block some of his damage as you whittle away at his hp.”
“Karthus is pretty special. It's hard to win against him the first games.
You just have to get sure, your team knows, that Karthus is in the game!
If you see him going back, watch if one of your teammates is lowlife. If yes: Follow him and Stun or Ult him.
I recommend you to not save your Ult for later, if you can't stun him. It's just not worth! If he wants to harass you with his Q, farm under tower and call your jungler to gank. Since he hasn't got any mobility or hard cc, it should be easy to shut him up/down ;)”
“Build mercury treads and completely demolish him a stun against a wall is almost always a death unless he uses flash. ”
“I'm putting only the difficult matchups on this list so you know what to ban/avoid, everything else is not a problem.”
“Although he is an AP champ, he has no mobility and is very squishy. During the early stages of the game, it is very easy to kill Karthus, but this matchup really boils down to how well you dodge his Q's.”
“GET EDGE OF NIGHT IT BLOCKS HIS ULTIMATE COMPLETELY DON'T BUY SILLY ITEMS LIKE MAW AGAINST KARTHUS. Also one of the few junglers you can beat 1v1. Abuse him when ahead.”
“Can burst you but has to land skillshots. No way of escaping”
“Power-farms and relies on being one of the strongest junglers that still hasn't been nerfed too hard. You can abuse him in his jungle, but don't get too carefree or else he'll win by doing way too much damage and having his ultimate.”
“He's slow as hell and can't stop the fast Popper, just beware of his ultimate and thats all you should be concerned.”
“This champion is really annoying, as he outduels you as a control mage WITH a faster clear. Shaco has very bad base MR. It's funny that he will be squishy but when you kill him it would probably end up being a 1 for 1 since his passive will end up killing you. Shaco doesn't have an escape and you'll be slowed and have to tank all his Qs while in his E which is just absolutely crazy.”
“Duel him when his E is off, play around your boxes and dodge his Q's.
EZPZ”
“Just invade him at lvl 2 or 3, you can almost one-shot him at lvl 3, You can block his r ”
“[5/10] Another matchup where it can be decided based on your proactivity. If you let Karthus farm up and don’t pressure him/lanes early-game, then you may struggle as the game progresses. Look to place aggressive wards whenever you can, and try to get early ganks off before he reaches 6, also before he can pick up his core items since your base stats will be much more impactful early than his. Q evolve should be good to quickly DPS him but R can be a viable choice as well. Prioritize lethality items such as Ghostblade and Edge of Night instead of Cleaver in your build as long as there aren’t many tanks, so that you can deal with him quickly.”
“ Karthus is easy enough if you know what you're doing. Don't invade him as it is pretty much a skill matchup for Xin Zhao. Karthus may invade you. If he does, have one of your laners help kill him unless you have more health than him. His teamfights are decently strong, but not OP. Try to snowball as best as possible and you should be able to melt him. Don't let him get ahead or suffer the consequences.”
“REAL PAIN BECAUSE HE RUINS YOUR TEAMFIGHT POWER WHILE FORCING YOU TO TEAMFIGHT BECAUSE OF THE SHEER PRESENCE HE BRINGS. SCALES ABOUT 0.75X AS HARD AS JAX. EVEN WITH ADAPTIVE HELM HE WILL POP YOU WITH 5 Q'S BECAUSE OF HIS MAGIC RESISTANCE SHRED AND PERMANENT AOE. HIS ULT LOWERS YOUR SPLITPUSH POWER AS WELL. THANK GOD KARTHUS IS BORING.”
“After Karthus nerfs this patch he is way worse in jungle, he has same midgame but has a harder time snowballing. You have better ganks, slightly worse clear but you can kill him whenever you see him”
“Karthus is seeing more play in the jungle.
The important thing to know is how his q works. His Q has a very very low cooldown (1 second) and it'll spawn a bubble that'll pop and do damage. If the bubble only hits one person then it does 2x damage.
When fighting him, you can burst him down but your main focus is sidestepping his bubble spawns. If you avoid his bubble pops then it's an easy fight.
ALSO DO NOT FORGET HIS PASSIVE. When he dies he can still cast spells so if you kill him make sure to get away from his body. If you're far away enough he'll be useless.
If he ults you, time your Serpah's Item shield to protect you. ”
“One of Cassiopeia's easiest matchups. You outharass and out DPS him ten times over. Make his laning phase a living hell because he scales in a fashion very similar to you. Harass him whenever possible, and don't be afraid to trade with him, as you should win all 1v1 trades. Consider buying a zhonya's mid game to counter his ultimate. ”
“If you don't invade him early he will be more useful than you even if he takes no risk.”
“Tente de counter jungle assez rapidement dans la partie. Tu auras besoin de ton red pour le tuer. Chasse-le un maximum.”
“If he's an AP Tank then he can be a bit harder to kill. However if he's squishy, you shouldn't have much trouble. If you see him channeling his ult, remember that you can stun it to prevent him from finishing it. Also his passive can be a bit annoying, so remember to juke your way out of range after you kill him.”
“Easy. Just run away after, he can finish you with his passive. Annoying moment.”
“Crit Build 1 Shot Her She Cant Do Anything GGEZ. Watch Out For His Passive Though!”
“He is immobile, has little cc, the perfect target to either assassinate as blue or slaughter as Rhaast. You only have to be careful of early game fights since he is pretty strong and at lvl 6, he has his ultimate.”
“90/10. Worst matchup. You can't invade him and by the time you get level 3 he is level 4. The entire game you are playing behind a beast of a late game champ. ”
“Karthus is a free lane
he cannot stop you from getting onto him
he will outrade you lvl 1-2 if he uses his abilities on you only. But this will leave him with no mana
So you get a free lane afterwards
lategame karthus wins from you as killing him in a teamfight wont make much of a difference”
“Again, I have never personally played against a Karthus. But, he is rated number Kats easiest champion to play against. Your mobility should be too much for him to handle.”
“Well, this comes down to the age-old gimmick matchup. He ults, you ult. He pokes, you poke harder. His range is pretty much your range. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. His trades will likely entice you to get in close range to avoid his Wall, leading to a potential jungle gank on you but that's situational.”
“He's not very fast, easy to catch him with skillshots, then you can go all-in because he's squishy.”
“Can be annoying in high elo, in Low elo very easy to fight against.”
“Invade this dude as much as safely possible if you get a lead. He can't trade with your burst.
The worst thing you can do against a Karthus jungle is allow them to farm and unleash hellfire with their global R.
Take camps from him, keep him tracked, keep him behind.”
“Better at teamfighting but if you manage to dodge some of his q's you beat him so easily in a 1v1 or 2v2.”
“Karthus is the opposite of Kindred. He does not pose a threat to you in skimishes/teamfights. However, he hard counters you because engaging on him is pointless. His passive allows him to deal massive amounts of damage, even if you kill him. This makes it very hard to engage him and if you ignore him your team will die to him. I recommend trying to either pick him or try to kill him later in the team fight as he cannot cast his ultimate near you because he can be CC'd out of the animation.”
“Very easy Matchup, just start Topside and Invade him, he can't really fight nor runaway from you.”
“he's probably just gonna scale harder than you. he's one of the few junglers you can duel and gank better than tho”
“Again another easy lane. generally though if hes a jungle and he starts doing well i get a banshees. Had a Karthus very recently hit me for 1400 with banshees.”
“Suicide champ. Too squishy and can get you fed so fast. He's lategame is good though, if it gets to late game. get behind your minions as it diminishes his early poke.”
“Easy to jump on, difficult to kill. Good Karthus players will take Exhaust vs Fizz. If this is the case, you must burn that summoner cooldown before fully committing for an all-in kill. Engage with either E or Q, but use the other ability to escape once he uses it defensively. Karthus will usually sit back and farm max range with Q, making you opt for an E engage more. Be careful when extending trades with Karthus as he will generally win with his higher DPS. This is a very tricky matchup as you have to do enough short trades with the right timing to threaten a kill onto him, bait out his defensive summoners, then look for the kill. Note that your E can be used to dodge Karthus's R.”
“Easy, once you get Trinity Force, you can easily just ult him and combo him, since you are fairly tanky you can get out of his passive alive, if he ults you just trickster.
Make sure he gets no crab, pressure him early in the jungle, you should be able to dodge most of his Q's.”
“as a new meta champ in jg karthus is really fucking strong against u in early jg. (but not in late game)”
“You may not know it but JG Karthus is pretty good once he get's going. Don't try to int him, especially if you're alone. He's going to go AP no matter what so go for Anti-AP and you should be fine.”
“Lmao he aint gonna hit shit u be fast as lil torpedo dud.”
“Step around his Qs and push him in. He can't CS under tower very well due to his clunky autos, so you'll force him to burn mana to last hit.
You can end his ult channel with your E if he isn't in his passive.
Just generally poke and burst him to death - he's extremely vulnerable to burst.”
“With Nocturnes spell shield available, it is impossible to get hit with his Ult.”
“Immobile champ without hard CC. Dodge his Qs and use your stopwatch against his ult. Go for kills if you want but at minimum take the free farm lane.”
“He is a even threat because Kassadin's Q can cancel his R. that if Kassadin is in range or Karthus is not in his passive ”
“No one counters this amazing build.”

“Great ADC into karthus!”
“Immobile and almost like you, you just need to stun him to start exploding him. Remember his Q deals double damage if it hits only one target, so if you think you're getting hit, just keep running or be near a minion to negate the extra damage.”
“been played bot he have a simillar range so be careful and dodge skillshots rush boots”
“This is a joke
He ultimates, you ultimate”
“Get a good combo and run after his death!”
“Its fun to completely negate his ult with your spell shield. ”
“ONLY YOURSELF IS THE HIGHEST TREATH!!!”
“He 1 shots you by abusing funneling strat. He will always be 1-5 levels ahead of you from the minute you walk in to lane. If the ult doesn't kill you don't worry Liandry's + Dark harvest will finish you off after procing and killing your other 4 team members.”

Tips Against Karthus in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
“He shouldn't be able to kill you. You have better waveclear and teamfighting than him (if we count out his ultimate.) Ryze can DODGE Karthus R with his team if he times his ultimate right. Press R around quarter of his bar or just react to it and press it when u see it appear.”
“Start Doran + 2 Pots if 1) You think you can outplay her and hit your W's to generate a kill at levels 3-5 or 2) You think she will burst you down post 6 (get an extra ring).
Start Corrupting if you think you will not hit your W's (or you will get poked down) and you rely more on wave clear/spammy poke (you will be way more squisher but more durable -- this is recommended if you are sure you will not get hit by CC spells and instantly die).
Be careful of isolated Q (just like Kha'Zix). Play around minions and try to get a full combo on him. Remember if you kill him to back away as soon as possible because of his passive. Always keep in mind that he can ult when you are low hp or your team, so use pings to communicate. Ping when he makes level 6 so your team knows that an ult might come. Roam but keep in mind that if he has ult he will use it.
Try to go for the kill as often as possbile. Play with Ignite and get a stopwatch if you want to deny at least an ult.”
“I out-range him, so I just poke with E without going for passive procs and putting myself in a position to lose a trade. I'll build Zhonya's for his R, but there's no point rushing it as it doesn't deal that much damage early on. If he's some sort of god that lands every single Q, I'll get some Mercury's Treads. He's fairly immobile and pushes easily, so my jungler usually has no issue ganking him and slowing him down from scaling into a late game monster. I'll also spam ping when he's close to 6/gets 6, so my teammates are reminded to back or avoid fights if they're low on HP.”
“Although he does do lots of damage, his skillshots are easy to dodge and he has no cc. I find this matchup quite easy as long as you can outthink the Karthus and dodge his Q spam. You should be able to bully him early, and burst him out nearly instantly mid and late game. He cant do much against a banshee veil, but you can just go full damage on him and be much more impactful.
Recommend: Barrier and Dmg Build”
“very easy match up , you have everything to counter him , your w , your q to heal back his dmg , your w can block his ult , if possible , then try to avoid his w (slow) because if will reduce your movement speed and magic resist , but with that you can still kill him but its just a bit harder”
“Low hp, just burst him to death. You have to have some faker game juice ready so you can dodge like a pro. Go perfect timing so he can not get a free kill when you kill him at level 6/7”
“Really Squishy, he needs to get up close if he wants to do serious damage, which favours you hard. A good Karthus will farm with Q and wait for late game however, try to prevent that.”
“He is very squishy and which makes it very easy for you to burst him down and get fed against him in lane. He's a good enough lategame champion though so he will eventually hurt.
Try to get fed from him, Roam and end the game as early as possible :)”
“Dodge his Lay Waste(Q) and you should have a very easy time out-trading Karthus. Never engage under his Wall of Pain(W) as you will expect decreased magic resistance and movement speed.(Recommended Items: Rylai's Scepter, Boots of Swiftness or Mercury's Treads) (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Singed) (Fling cancels his Requiem)”
“he's pretty squishy and with how agile you are it'll be hard for him to hit a skillshot. dodge everything he throws on you and play aggressive. ”
“Man this champion is just annoying but you should have no problem against him. You are mobile enough to dodge his (Q). He has no escape and you can leap over his wall with your (E). He is squishy and easy for you to all in. You can dodge his ultimate if you time your (E) correctly and use it just as his ult is about to pop off. Late game he can do a lot of damage to your entire team with his ultimate. Be sure to type in chat to your team when he hits level 6 to let them know he has utli ready.”
“Hate him, ideally wait for ganks and all in him then. Otherwise experiment with the Karthus with a few Qs when you play against him. If you get a feel for how much damage you can do and how much you can take you will know when to kill him. Build Spirit Visage if scared and behind otherwise go normal build with Abyssal Scepter for more poke and damage.”
“All of his kill potential is in his slow and his ult, both of which you can shield away.”
“Mainly a poke match up/dodge match up. Your level 6 beats his though, play aggressive into him with Q-E to combo with your W then R at level 6. Buy zhonya's if you think you're taking too much damage from his ult.”
“Karthus burns mana easily, and his Q wont do much damage early game, so just stop him from getting CS and hit your sleeps when you can.”
“Karthus comes as an extremely easy match up for Leblanc since he struggles to hit many abilities on her at all. Leblanc just has to hit full combo's and dodge all of Karthus' Q's and she straight up wins.”
“For Karthus, it's really important to not get harassed too much in early. A lot of Karthus players are trying to go on your face and spam their Q on you in order to drop you down. If it happens, it's quite good to get some jungle ganks if possible, otherwise this lane might turn into nightmare. On the other hand, once when you hit level 6, you can mostly use your combo on him and kite him in your E because once again, he has to walk up to you if he wants to do something. In that moment, you are the one who dictates the rules of trading. For lategame it's quite good to have Banshee against him or Zhonya to avoid his ults, otherwise you might have a lot of problems to survive in teamfights, since your ult can chunk you down really badly with high amounts of AP.”
“Really depends on your ability to dodge Karthus' Qs. Nothing much to comment on here. You can dodge his ult with your ult as well.”
“It's an hard poke/push mage , rly hard to fight 1v1 , and also if you win the matchup he can kill you from dead or using his ultimate . Harass him if you can . Skill Matchup.”
“Should be an easy matchup depending on how well you dodge his Q's. Your ult can be used to dodge his as well making your engage all that more effective.”
“lol. Just bully him.”
“Easy laning phase like the rest of the game. he's less mobile than you so it shouldn't be hard to dodge his Q”
“He could be annoying with his Q. But you can escape from his Ultimate just by pressing E. Press E when his Ultimate is close to explode. If you do it too early, you are a Sushi.”
“Karthus players generally int to use their passive to kill you, once he walks too far up just ult him under turret and ignite then use your bodyslam to go far away from him so he's not able to deal damage with his passive.”
“Karthus' Q is super easy to dodge with mobis, and he is super immobile and squishy. Be careful of his ult though. Getting an early EoN is really good into Karthus.”
“Haven't played this yet but since karthus mid is meta now... Just juke his q's you can also cancel his r with your q”
“Low mobility+Squishy.. the perfect match up for you. Buy zhonya's though for later”
“Dshield
Free lane. There isn't much he can really do if you engage on him.”
“He's a much bigger threat then some people first realize. He can machine gun his Q, his wall can pop your shield and slow you down, and his ult can hit you from literally anywhere. He can also clear out your minions pretty easy between his Q and E. ”
“He has nothing to counter your ult. His power is lane control/poking and he scales into late game - use your early aggression by punishing him when he over extends. A matchup Kat wins most of the time unless you don't do anything in lane and he recalls with HP/AP. Stopwatch is wise vs his ult after gunblade.”
“Karthus can't really burst you and will struggle to do almost anything. He can't really stop you from roaming, but he may out farm you and be a threat.”
“Avoid his Q's and spare your W for his Ult”
“HoB/beads. I never have many issues with Karthus, but not many people are really good with him. They prefer to just take him jungle, not have to deal with hitting Q in lane, AFK farm 200 CS, and press R for 4k damage in the lategame. You should be able to farm up just fine. Early boots are super valuable here; with your W you ought to be able to avoid all the skittles fairly easily. Taking a direct isolated hit seriously hurts though, so be careful. A confident Karthus could very easily force your flash if he catches you with a wall while your W is down. That’s the only way this really turns against you. Just farm, poke, and eat him at 6. He shouldn’t be able to do a damn thing about it and you'll kill him instantly. Don’t go in unless you’re full though; expect to take a ton of damage while retreating from his ghost. Just 2 or 3 skittle hits while you’re killing him and his ult will still get you. ”
“Can survive his ult with your ult pretty much everytime.”
“Poke with Q, then just run him down when he have less then 60-70% hp. Conq for flat ap, Phase for easier running (wall).”
“karthus ult is only thing scary about this matchup”
“Take Comet or Lethal Tempo. If you get slowed by his wall, jump immediately, whether in or out. ”
“Easy. He is so squishy but avoid his Q on the ground.”
“Low Even
As long as you sit in minion waves, you out poke him out but when you step out of the minion wave he will W and it'll get hard to dodge his Q so, you know, don't.
”
“Karthus isn't a very good enemy, the biggest pro he has is his range to poke you but, his spells are so slow it is easy to avoid, the biggest danger is that he could set up a gank by using his wall on you.”
“Sustain Karth
Summoner Spells: Teleport/Flash----

”
“Super easy in lane.
You can poke him for tons of damage and combo and kill him easily.
Get banshee's/zhonya's to dodge his ultimate since late game it can wreck you if he gets fed.”
“very ez dodge his qs and run it down, ppl are not spamming it mid for a reason, you cancel his ulti with your q
electro”
“lol cant fight ziggs ever.”
“Boring lane, most of the time after level 3 they just sit back and farm, if you land your e though he will either die from your all in or be forced to back. Build Zhonyas when facing him due to his ult.”
“He never ganks so he has no pressure on the map”
“Keep close to minions and watch for his q. He is usually easy to hit with a charm because he is a large target but it is important to keep in mind that his passive lets him damage you after death so back away.”
“Karthus has been a top tier pick for a long while now and he's definietly way stronger than Karma could ever be. Avoid playing Karma in this situation. Take barrier/teleport if it happens. Get Corrupting pot.”
“Not at all a threat.”
“Max Q in this lane. Play safe pre 6, then jump on him if he wastes his wall. Q if he ults. Your Q will soak a large portion of his R damage. Go mercs if you would like. Dodge his skillshots, and you win at 11.”
“Can i say gg already? The most easy match up. he is so squishy and and he is so slow, low mobility and his damage is so easy to dodge. ”
“Karthus has about the same range as you, except his Q is a little bit farther. Let him blow his mana, as most Karthus's have to siphon through mana like crazy to stay competitive in the lane. Once he's down to about a quarter mana or lower, engage him, but make sure to continue to dodge his Q's. You'll easily win and maybe even pick up a kill.”
“Squishy battlemage with negligible CC. You can kill him and E away his R on you or a teammate. Just stay out of his Q range once he is in passive. ”
“A good karthus will sit at range and harass you for every cs. Look to roam when you can, because you have fast and stronger waveclear. Look for burst trades when you can. If he plays far, you can Q to a minion to engage. Remember your E can dodge his R if timed right.”
“This guy is really easy, but be careful when going for riskier kills, because he can kill you with his passive either by ulting or pre-6 with his Q.”
“your early phase is too much for him, dodge his Q and poke him down, at level 3 you should be able to kill him easily since his health is low(base health)”
“Just dodge his q's and all in him as much as you can early.”
“Just dodge, his passive could be annoying and make sure don't get too low on HP, if you kill him, you may die as well. Get Hexdrinker when behind.”
“Very easy matchup. Avoid getting hit by his Q's and if he run exhaust, only fight him after he has used it.”
“Who Even plays Karthus Mid anymore”
“easy matchup , u can go for all win after he gets about 60% or lower health and u have electrocute or dark havest up , 3 hit and kite his Q's.”
“His short range and 0 mobility make him an easy target for poke. Just try to stay out of his range and deny him cs. If he gets too close, use e to put some distance between you. Repeat.”
“Starting Item: Dark seal + Potion
Not a big threat at all. But has good range so can harass and damage you. If youre a new velkie, stay out of range.”
“Just dodge his Q's. Easy killable.”
“Ce mec est trop lent ,n'as aucun desh et est super weak.
Vous avez gagnez votre lane gg a vous”
“Happy feet him. Zhonyas might help for his ult. He has 0 mobility. Push lane HARD, and he's going to cry under turret.”
“Keep on moving, maybe take celerity if you think you can't dodge all of his q's”
“Nothing is needed to be said about this but ya know he just threw the game for his team.”
“Who plays this kid mid anymore?
Jungle is meta.”
“Dont get hit by his q, always try to kill him, karthus is useless while behind, if he gets ahead you still win 1v1 as long as you dodge his q's”
“Don't bother placing your turrets, it's free gold and mana for him: better just max W and try to poke him down and maybe got a kill. Place turrets to combo with W or E.”
“Who plays Karthus lol you can destroy him don't worry”
“kill him over and over again with your jungler.”
“Since you don't need to stop to hit him, his q spells are really hard to hit. ”
“Can destroy you at level 1. He have better range than you, better poke than you. DO not try to engage Karthus without your jungler.”
“Bully with flay, look to all in after chipping at 6.
(Don't freeze, Gankable)”
“He can clear your turrets pretty easily with his Q so its a little annoying. His ultimate also forces you to build Zhonyas to prevent him from executing you with it anytime you get low. Hes not too bad outside of those factors but he does negate a lot of your power early on. Heimer can also have a lot more teamfight presence than Karthus since your RE outranges all of his kit besides his ult.”

“Okay, so this ones a little weird. A really good karthus can be extremely annoying to deal with, especially those that are happy to die and trade 1 for 1 while simultaneously denying you the wave with his passive. His level 1 is tremendous with electrocute so respect his damage and try play around your minions because you take less damage when you're not hit by his q as a single target. Respect his w slow as it shreds MR and watch his q+e electrocute combo. If you play the lane safe and get your items he will be beat harder than when his uncle beat him especially post ludens/6. You literally auto-win super late game, and buying boots early as well as MR can definitely be your option depending on enemy jungler.”
“Usually you should be good. Karthus is not mobile, meaning you can abuse your mobility against him.”
“His harassment is really strong level 1,but trying to sidestep his q makes it great opportunity to trade him early levels,you just have to cosplay happy feet.”
“kill everytime u can, don't let him farm.”
“Karthus I would consider as the weakest champ in this matchup. Dodge his q's and poke with q and w till low then kill him when you are at full hp. Avoid fighting him when low since his ult will kill you instantly without shield or ally help.”
“Another annoying match up due to having to dance around his Q but I max E in this match up due to the free charges he generates from Q spam. This gives you a fair amount of wave clear to push back. Be sure to try to cancel his ult with your Q although most Karthus players wait until they've died. Shouldn't be too much trouble to lane against him.”
“Working on a update for Vs. Champions”
“Whoever is more aggressive early wins. Just keep in mind for ganks.”
“Dodge his Q's and you're good. ”
“Karthus doesn't have to mobility to dodge a Snowball and will most likely push up allowing for easy kills. Not much to fear besides a suicide attempt.”
“Do not fight him level 1, Disengage the fight. Karthus is busted as of patch 8.24, Farm, shove and pressure the other lanes. Roam a lot, ward their jungle, contest buffs, etc.. Zhonya second is your best friend.
start sapphire or seal.”
“Karthus can be very annoying to play against early game. Lux's low base MR means you are going to take a lot of damage by lay waste. Pre-6, farm under tower amd at a distance. At 6, try to pick him off with your combo. You should kill him even with just a lost chapter. ”
“If you move all the time and he start to chase you out of frustration, landing your full combo becomes one of the easiest things ever. This lane is pretty damn free. Don't mess it up.”
“Karthus is relatively easy to beat. His Q is on a 1 second cooldown, but it's fairly easy to dodge and if it does hit you, it doesn't do that much damage early anyway. When CSing against Karthus, try staying close to minions, but be sure not to get yourself into a situation where you are creepblocked. Karthus' Q does more damage if it hits a solo target so if you position yourself where you are near a minion, the Q damage will not receive the bonus. Of course, dodge the damage entirely if you can. Post 6, Karthus should be an easy kill, but be careful about going in while low. Aside from ulting you, he can set up Wall of Pain to block your escape which can put you in an awkward spot while you dance around in his Defile pool. As always, Zhonya's Hourglass is a solid buy here.”
“if you dodge a couple of his q, and go with e to slow him down, you'll win 100% of the times. Watch out when being really low, remember his ultimate.”
“He'll have run of the lane, but you have 2 ways to cancel his ult. In the jungle he doesn't matter to you at all until mid-game.”
“Er ist super Squishy und hängt nur von seinem Schaden ab, vorrausgesetzt er trifft mit seinen Q's.”
“if he has dark harvest you cant counter him when he ults unless you have zhonyas or banshee's”
“Side step his Q's and poke him. He's squishy. ”
“Karthus' Q is the same range as Veigar's W and E, but since he's squishy, it is easy to harass Karthus in lane and easy to farm against.”
“He is really squishy, dodge his Q and u will be fine. But nowadays he is a jungler so u wont lane vs him very often. ”
“Pretty easy matchup. His ult is the only thing that you should really be cautious about.”
“Sidestep his Q and dodge his R with your W. Kill him and show him what it is like to get killed. Give him a payback for killing your team with his R. If he uses his E just go for him with E+W combo.”
“Can deal damage late game, lots, in fact. You'll have to smash the shit out of him earlygame, where he's very immobile and can't deal tons of damage. ”
“Dodge his q and you will be fine. Poke him with Q if he hits you or farm with Q. Play safe until lvl 6 and then you'll win. ”
“Just dodge everything.”
“Not played enough but should be easy.”
“Facile à tuer car immobile, mais il faut être prêt à danser.”
“Your Black Shield can partially negate his ultimate, making this an easier matchup than usual.”
“Same as Vel'koz. Play smart till lvl 3. Karthus OTP tend to force you back in that Phase if you dont care enough.”
“Even with just an Amplifying Tome he does 1/6 of Sona's health with one Q. There is basically no surviving this monstrosity w/o your jungler near. You better rush Banshee's Veil!”
“You get in melee range, you win.”
“Stay away from minions to make him choose CS or harass. Stay away from Karth's dead body. Rush early Zhonya's for his ult if he's strong. Ward path to his blue to catch him if you can.”
“kite him, u have more Range and more reliable dmg so doge his Q and you win, if he ults use your q shield or archangle staff”
“Stay away from minions to make him choose CS or harass. Stay away from Karth's dead body. Rush early Zhonya's for his ult if he's strong. Ward path to his blue to catch him if you can.”
“Even tho,the range of his Q is the same with your W,you can still win it,try to get stopwatch as soon as possible after he hits 6 otherwise,if you're low on HP you're dead ”
“Your mobility will make it hard for him to land Q
After two shadow combos you can all-in him
You can dodge his R with your R
Watch out for his wall slow since it will probably follow up with a gank”
“Khartus with his Q spam and global ultimate is match up where you will constantly be on the move while trying to keep eye on him to save your allies in time. The dance between his Q's isn't that hard since it will deal it's damage with nice delay + it's AoE is pretty small. the problem starts when you get too close and khartus manage to catch you wil his wall and another AoE that deals damage to enemies around him. That's why before getting your ultimate try to stay at the safe distancce and after getting lvl 6 play more aggressively with poking him 1st before going all in. Remember that his passive gives him few extra seconds where he still can hit you so don't drop your guard after kill since it can lead to unpleasant death. If you see him backing away under his turret suddenly be ready to act, he will cast his ultimate most of the time after it, if you see that u have not that big window to charm him to cancer his channel so you will save your teammates from death and have free damage on him at the same time. Consider buying mercury treads if poke get's too heavy and you get caught often by his wall.”
“One of the spammers that can be avoided easily. Do it and waste his effort of dealing damage.”
“he has no mobility call for ganks and after 2-3 kills you can snowball easily
”
“you can literally E is ult lmfao”
“Nothing to really worry about. Don't let him poke you down so he can't use his ult effectively.”
“Pretty much any assassin has no problem with going against Karthus. He is very vulnerable and he is only scary when he reaches 6. Make sure you can kill him with just enough health to survive his ult, or buy Zhonyas.”
“Ban him.
He is main counter pick for Annie.
”
“Level 1 is hard he can kill you if you trade stupid, specialy if he gots exhaust. wait until you reach level 4 karthus is always a target for your jungle because, he got no escape wait until your jungler comes and just kill him straight away.”
“His range is short, but overextending can kill you pretty quick. If your HP is starting to drop low enough for his ult to kill start backing asap before he backs up and presses his instawin button”
“Just dodge his Q's and you should be good to go.
Karthus cant really do much against mobile champions like Katarina.
But he will outscale you hard.”
“Ele é fácil de matar na lane, porém lidar contra ele globalmente vai ser a coisa mais complicada que você possa lidar, usar a build de burst e fazer de tudo para acelerar o jogo vai ser fundamental, lembre-se de nunca dar call de objetivo com o karthus vivo, talvez ele possa virar o jogo mesmo estando atrás.”
“All he has is his Q, and you have so much mobility. Also he has no escapes or burst. Just all-in him as many times as you can. He is however a bit tanky.”
“Definitely run Fleet for this lane. You can go with an E max here or just a standard Q max, but don't bother trying to get in close to trade before you hit level 6. After level 6, you can save Riftwalk so you can walk up, E + Q, and then Riftwalk out. Your Q will stop the channeling of his ultimate.”
“Karthus is an easy match up (IMO).
Avoid his attacks by dashing through minions. Use minions as wise as possible, cause you can all in him lvl 2-3. If you can beat him early game, he'll be useless late game.”
“Dodge him ultimate with ur sanguine pool He hasnt ability for escape ur nuke Hes squish simple lane”
“Karthus will most likely spam Q in the early game due to its low mana cost and cooldown. Just try and dodge all of it. Once he reaches 6, you will probably want to get Zhonya's or GA to basically avoid his ult. Push him under tower and watch him cry. ”
“Again, his main tool that he can spam at you is his Q,,,,, a skillshot. DODGE. After you kill him, make sure to go away, keeping his passive in mind.”
“Dodge his Q's. Buy a Zhonia or banshes 2-3rd Item to deny him killing you with his R”
“How to counter: DONT LET HIM GET FED. That's really all..”
“His early q damage will eat your health away, get boots as fast as possible. He is squishy however.”
“Let him push then all in. If possible try not to get minions agro.”
“His poke and damage can outplay you instantly.”
“Interesting to fight against, be cautious of where his Q's are and predict his movements, also predict his slows. And if he dies low health, you're lucky if you have a commencing stopwatch.”
“Majorly watch out for all of his abilities due to high base damage and fast proque.
Play aggressive and if possible freeze lane under his turret/ yar turret to have full control over the lane.”
“Permanently harass him with your Q's pre 6. Just R into him after you hit 6, easy to kill. You can interrupt his R with your Q when he's alive.”
“Don't engage and play safe. Karthus has consistent damage that outtrades if you miss your Q or W. Otherwise, you will have an equal laning phase.”
“If you can take care of Anivia, ban this guy. His ult is avoidable with Sanguine, but, just like you can Sanguine under enemies in a team fight, when he dies, you and your teammates are screwed. Also, it's a pain to escape him when he uses his Wall of Pain. I pity you if you match up against this guy.”
“You will win this Matchup, just Oneshot him. But care for his passive after you kill him. His late game can be annoying with Mana shield and more HP”
