Karina enters the (Dance of Blades) state for 3.5s, during which she gains 45% extra Movement Speed, blocks all incoming Basic Attacks, and reflects 100( +30% Total Magic Power) (Magic Damage) back to the attacker (the damage reflection effect has a cooldown of 0.4s). Karina's next Basic Attack within the duration deals 150( +55% Total Magic Power) (Magic Damage), slows the target by 45% for 1s, and is guaranteed to Crit. Casting the enhanced Basic Attack or (Shadow Assault) ends the (Dance of Blades) state early.

This first skill have OP effects, speed increases, enhanced basic attack with guaranteed crits and slows. No matter if you're escaping or pursuing, this skill is useful. The penetrating basic attack's extra effects can be used to deal devastating damage. Kills and assists will also substantially reduce this skill's cooldown, making this another one of Karina's core clean up abilities.

Karina launches a spinning slash, dealing 375( +125% Total Magic Power) (Magic Damage) to nearby enemies.

AoE damage, mainly used in the early game to quickly proc your passive effect, max this last.

Karina dashes to the target enemy hero, dealing them 350( +160% Total Magic Power) (Magic Damage), applying a (Shadow Mark) to them, and leaving a (Shadowform) behind them. The (Shadow Mark) and (Shadowform) both last 5s. If the enemy dies within the duration, the cooldown of this skill is reset. (Use Again): Karina dashes back to the (Shadowform)'s location, dealing 150( +50% Total Magic Power) (Magic Damage) to enemies along the way.

Mobility skill, during team fights use this carefully, for using it incorrectly will make you lose your escape. Use it when you know you can get the skill, don't hesitate when using. Kills will refresh the cooldown, while assists will substantially reduce the cooldown allowing Karina to finish off enemies continually with burst damage.

Karina's third consecutive attack on the same enemy deals extra (True Damage) equal to 50 plus 5( +3% Total Magic Power)% of their lost HP (up to 2000 (True Damage) against creeps). If the target is an enemy hero, the cooldowns of Karina's non-Ultimate skills are reduced by 1.5s.

This is Karina's key skill for securing kills, due to it doing more damage to low health targets. The true damage effect ignores the enemy's physical and magical resists.
