Leverage post-6 pick threat to control vision and pressure objectives through flanks and cross-map plays.

Contest Scuttle only when your lanes can move first to avoid losing tempo or fights.
After level 6, use camouflage to flank pushed lanes and isolated targets, leveraging cross-map pressure and objective setup.

Early clears when low health and lacking camouflage make you vulnerable to Karthus's invade and poke.

Karthus's level 6 global damage forces you to avoid extended low-health fights and skirmishes across the map.
