Based on 29 recent matches analyzed, Karthus wins with a 55.2% win rate compared to Miss Fortune's 44.8%, giving Karthus a 10.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Karthus controls the early laning stage, but Miss Fortune outscales as the game goes longer.

Karthus dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 66.7% win rate — a 33.3 percentage point lead over Miss Fortune. This lopsided early game means Karthus can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Miss Fortune is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 57.1% win rate — 14.3 points above Karthus. Extended games heavily favor Miss Fortune, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Karthus must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Miss Fortune reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Miss Fortune survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
