''Let the coronation bloodbath begin...!''

Introduction

For those of you seeing this mod for the first time, Bandit is my favorite character in vanilla RoR (the chad Lights Out enjoyer vs the virgin Desperado fan) and Katarina is my 2nd favorite champion in League, so I found this as a neat opportunity to both learn C# while also making something really cool in the process.

Her design was mainly influenced by her Season 11 AD On-hit build with Kraken Slayer/Blade of the Ruined King.

Visually she isn't the most stunning character because I hate making VFX, but mechanically she's one of the most complex survivors I've ever seen/played

2.0 highlights

• Reworked kit with smoother gameplay, focused on giving you more combat options in more situations
• You can now reset Shunpo multiple times in a fight, even against a single enemy, just like real Katarina
• The removal of Conqueror in exchange for dagger pickup system
• All 6 of her Battle Queen daggers are Implemented
• Full audio and voice lines
• better Death Lotus, uses Orbs instead of Projectiles so the aim isn't so arbitrary
• Extensive configs, several properties of the daggers are adjustable

Primary

Secondary

With each cast of this ability, Katarina chooses another dagger from her royal arsenal

• Hitting an enemy with a single dagger will ricochet the blade onto the ground near them
• Picking up the blade will slash radially
• The slash is centered around Katarina, not around the pickup zone, and heals you per enemy hit
• The radius is significantly larger than the slashing effect would imply, but I am bad at making VFX, as aforementioned
• Killing an enemy with a single dagger will heal you for a % of their maximum health

Utility: Shunpo Techniques

Utilizing her Noxian assassin training, Katarina appears instantly at target location.

• Extremely high range
• Hold to aim, release to cast
• Can cancel your fall damage
• You can do most other things while aiming. Walking, sprinting, using your primary/secondary
• Damages the closest enemy on-arrival
• The damage is centered on a radius around you so you don't need to target enemies directly, dashing near/behind them is enough (just like League!)

Using the power of her Scheman Crest, Katarina appears instantly in front of the target enemy.

• Only usable with a target
• but usuable even before the indicator appears, so long as the enemy is close enough to your crosshair and within range
• Excellent for immediately following up daggers
• Can also cancel fall damage
• Adept at chaining multiple flying enemies
• Both techniques deal vastly increased (460%) damage to flying enemies

Special

• Can suspend you in the air
• Targets with a priority system, Bosses>Elites>Flying enemies>All other enemies
• Number of enemies targeted increases by 1 per 20% attack speed and starts at 5
• Pressing the ability key again while channeling will cancel early

Special Thanks

• Scoops & EmilyMakar - League of Legends and Bandit are both great but Red Mist was truly my inspiration to start modding RoR2. After experiencing the adrenaline-rush she offers and seeing what's really possible, it motivated me to make my own fast-paced chain-kill melee survivor.

• Lemonlust - For keeping the subset of League mods alive with me and Dragonyck! He also maintained his own version of Katarina while I was in a burnout hibernation cycle.
