Sejuani vs Karthus

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use controlled pathing focused on river and objective fights to disrupt Karthus's fast scaling and clear tempo.
Prioritize engaging grouped fights with (R) and coordinate with melee lanes to stack (E) for impactful ganks and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Secure river control by contesting Scuttle only if lane priority favors you and Karthus is tracked on the opposite side.
Invade Karthus early when lanes can assist or he is delayed to deny his fast clear tempo and scaling.
Use vision and engage tools to set up dragon, Rift Herald, or Void Grubs fights where you can force grouped skirmishes.

Danger windows

Karthus's early invade and river timings are dangerous when lanes lack priority; avoid blind face-checks in fog.
Low-health clears or spent mobility and Smite cooldowns create vulnerability to counter-invades or forced fights.
Missing lane priority around Scuttle, dragon, or Herald turns river contests into risky windows where Karthus can punish isolated fights.

Early game

Start clears toward lanes with priority to enable early river contest or ganks before Karthus hits level 3 threat.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes can collapse quickly to avoid isolated fights.
Avoid forced river fights if Karthus is nearby or lanes lack priority; favor cross-map camps or opposite-side ganks.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling long-range engages to start fights or picks around objectives; use this to force grouped fights.
First tank item boosts durability and clear tempo, letting you front-line objective fights and absorb cooldowns.
Two completed items enhance frontline presence, making you a reliable engage tool while denying Karthus isolated targets.

Win conditions

Translate jungle tempo into securing dragon and Rift Herald by controlling river vision and forcing grouped fights with (R).
Deny Karthus free farm and objective setups by invading his jungle when lanes can assist or he is overextended.
Use melee-lane synergy and stacked crowd control to create picks and snowball teamfights before Karthus scales fully.
