Katarina combos

Bread n' butter

Bread n' butter combos are juggles that:

Work on as many different launchers as possible
Work on all body sizes

Launchers that require unique combos go straight to § Staples.

↑ tricky timing; does not work on reverse splats; inconsistent off-axis
↑ works off of lower splats than d/f+1,1
↑ works off of normal splats

Floor Break

Off-axis

Kat's combos are very unstable on off-axis opponents. It is recommended to quickly step to re-align if possible before picking up from a launcher (e.g., after a SSL hopkick whiff punish, quickly do a SSR before d+2). Otherwise, use f,F+4 to immediately screw, then do d+2,F > HAR 1 > b+1,F > HAR 4.

Back-turned opponent

u/f+4,4 > d+2 > d+2 will flip the opponent the right way up to continue the combo. A better option is to simply do b+1,F > HAR d/f+1+2 for 63 dmg. A guaranteed BT option is 1,1,2 > 3,3,3,3,3.

Character-specific

Bears: [every launcher except b+2, CH f+3] > d+2,F,DB > ws4 > d/f+1 > d+2,F > d/f+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR 4; [b+2, CH f+3] > d/f+1 > d+2,F,DB > ws4 > d+2,F > d/f+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR 4

Extras

Extra combos are juggles that are:

Strictly worse than one of the § Staples; or
Too inconsistent to be a staple; or
Joke combos for style points.

Max Damage

Launcher(s)	Combo	Damage	Notes
u/f+4,4	> d+2 > 4 > d+2,F > HAR 1 > b+1,F > HAR d/f+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR 4	74	post-screw dash has tight timing
f,F+2,4	> dash > d+2,F > HAR 1 > 4,4,4,F > HAR d/f+3	58	final HAR d/f+3 has to be done without any delay
CH 4	> f,F+2 > d/f+1 > d+2,F > HAR 1 > b+1,F > HAR d/f+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR 4	69	do a deep HAR dash before screwing with HAR d/f+2,3, otherwise the 3 will whiff
