KatarinaS Tier ComboKatarina's ult counts as a high-frequency channeled DPS ability and triggers on-hit. Pair with Kraken Slayer, Bloodthirster/Bork, and Jeweled Gauntlet + Vulnerable for the highest single-second DPS in the game. Every dagger thrown during her spin triggers a 7.17x damage multiplier.
LuxS Tier ComboEthereal Weapon procs Lux's passive — E into multiple enemies and you can detonate the passive mark on all of them.
BrandS Tier ComboOnce you grab Vulnerable, use it so item DoTs (Liandry's, Rylai's, etc.) and abilities crit. Add Jeweled Gauntlet's 45% crit chance for 70% total — DoTs become real damage. Shadowflame doubles up the crit. Once Vulnerable lands, go double-DoT: Shadowflame + Vulnerable doubles up crit damage on abilities.
