Karthus is a mythic creature who lived as a mortal once, with an unusual obsession\u2014death. He eagerly embraced the gift of undeath, and now, as a lich, he’s never been closer to his beloved grave than ever before.<\/span><\/p>

Karthus commands magic using the “oblivion,” seeking to bring his grim truth to the rest of the world\u2014only death can bring one clarity and purpose.<\/span><\/p>

As his obsession grew, the further he delved into the concept of death and became fascinated by the legends of the Shadow Isles. Possessed by these legends, Karthus knew he had to discover if they were true.<\/span><\/p>

There, Karthus began his journey to the dreaded Shadow Isle, surrounded by mists and the surreal beauty of the place\u2014making him feel like he was <\/span>finally <\/span><\/i>home.<\/span><\/p>

However, during that day, something has awoken in Karthus, as he did something no one had ever dared to, he willingly gave up his life to undeath.<\/span><\/p>

Now, as he reenters the world, Karthus has become the <\/span>very <\/span><\/i>embodiment of his obsession: an undying lich holding the balance between life and death. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Karthus is a potent and persistent solo lane mage. You can whittle your foes with Karthus’s Lay Waste and use clever positioning and timing to deal additional damage to your enemies.<\/span><\/p>

He’s an overall great long-ranged mage. However, he can be challenging to use. Despite that, he’s one of the top picks in the Jungle role for League of Legends<\/a>, making him an A-Tier Rank.<\/span><\/p>

Here’s a closer look at Karthus’s skills and abilities: <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Death Defied: <\/b>When Karthus takes fatal damage, he’ll remain active for seven seconds, rendering himself immobile and unable to perform basic attacks or use summoner spells and activate items.<\/span><\/p>

Plus, Karthus becomes untargetable and immune to crowd control, preventing him from receiving any incoming damage for the duration while allowing to cast abilities at zero cost.<\/span><\/p>

If Karthus learns the Defile skill, it’ll remain toggled for the rest of Death Defied’s duration.<\/span><\/p>

Lay Waste: <\/b>When casting Lay Waste, Karthus launches a blast at a target direction, detonating after a short delay, granting sight of the location before inflicting magic damage to all enemy units caught.<\/span><\/p>

The attack can affect all nearby enemies even when you only hit one target.<\/span><\/p>

Wall of Pain: <\/b>This active ability lets Karthus summon a passable wall of spectral energy at a target direction perpendicular to his facing for five seconds, granting brief sight around the location’s pillars and centers.<\/span><\/p>

Enemy units passing through the Wall of Pain for the first time from the same cast will get slowed down for four seconds and reduce their magic resistance by 15% for four seconds.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
