How to play Karina:

Karina is an excellent pick for players who want to play an aggressive assassin role and deal high amounts of burst damage to enemies.

Use skill 1 (Dance of Blades) to increases her Movement Speed by 45% and blocks all Basic Attacks.Use skill 2 (Dance of Death) to deal AoE damage.

Use skill 3 (Shadow Assault) to quickly take down enemy heroes.

Tactics:

Early game (level 1-7): Karina is relatively weak and vulnerable to enemy attacks. She should focus on farming and gaining experience to level up quickly.

Mid game (level 8-12): Karina should focus on building her core items to increase her damage output and mobility. During team fights, she can use her ultimate ability to quickly burst down enemy heroes.

Late game (level 13+): Karina becomes a deadly assassin who can quickly eliminate enemy heroes in team fights. She should target enemy heroes who are out of position or low on health to quickly secure kills for her team.
