Karma lore ▾

Aucun mortel n'incarne mieux que Karma les traditions spirituelles d'Ionia. Elle est l'hôte vivant d'une âme ancienne réincarnée à de multiples reprises. Elle contient tous les souvenirs accumulés au fil de ces vies et elle possède une puissance que peu peuvent comprendre. Elle a fait de son mieux pour guider son peuple lors de la crise récente, même si elle sait que la paix et l'harmonie ne sont possibles qu'à un prix élevé, pour elle et pour la terre qu'elle aime tant.

Karma Support Guide | Patch 26.17

Karma thrives as a lane bully with strong poke and shielding, making her a top-tier enchanter in patch 16.3. Her ultimate, Mantra, amplifies her abilities, turning her into a versatile threat in both early skirmishes and late-game teamfights.

How to play Karma?

Karma excels in the early game with her sustained poke and reliable shielding. Start with a Doran's Ring for mana sustain and poke power, then transition into a defensive build with items like Ardent Censer to amplify your ADC's damage. In the mid-game, focus on rotating to skirmishes and using your Mantra-enhanced abilities to secure objectives or peel for your carries. Late-game, Karma shines in teamfights, where her Mantra: R (Mantra) can turn her into a burst threat or a protective shield for your team. Position carefully, as her lack of mobility makes her vulnerable to assassins.

The highest-ranked ladder players who actually play Karma: last 30 days. 13 OTPs in the ranking.

✅ Strengths

•Strong early-game poke with Q (Heavenly Wave) and W (Focused Resolve)
•Versatile ultimate (Mantra) that can adapt to both offensive and defensive situations
•Excellent peel and shielding for your ADC with E (Inspire)
•High mana pool and sustain, allowing for extended laning phases

❌ Weaknesses

•Low mobility and lack of dashes make her vulnerable to assassins
•Dependent on landing skillshots for maximum impact
•Weak against heavy engage compositions like Leona or Nautilus
•Struggles in extended fights without proper positioning

💡 Tips for Karma

1.Use your Q (Heavenly Wave) to poke enemies in lane, but save your W (Focused Resolve) for trading or disengaging. The root can be a game-changer in skirmishes.
2.Save your Mantra for key moments, such as when your ADC is about to be engaged on or when you need to secure a kill with your empowered abilities.
3.Prioritize upgrading your E (Inspire) early to maximize your shielding potential, especially if your ADC is auto-attack reliant like Jhin or Ezreal.
4.Roam aggressively after winning your lane. Karma’s ultimate (Mantra) makes her a strong roaming support, as it can help secure kills or assists in other lanes.
5.Avoid face-checking brushes without vision. Karma’s lack of mobility means she can be caught out easily by assassins or junglers lurking in the fog of war.

❓ Frequently asked questions about Karma

What is the best rune setup for Karma in ranked?

Standard setup includes Summon Aery for poke, Manaflow Band for mana sustain, Transcendence for cooldown reduction, and Scorch or Gathering Storm for late-game scaling.

How do I deal with aggressive lane opponents like Leona or Nautilus?

Maximize your E (Inspire) early to mitigate their engage, and save your W (Focused Resolve) for when they use their crowd control. Play for poke and avoid extended trades.

Is Karma viable in high-elo ranked games?

Yes, Karma is a strong pick in high-elo, especially in coordinated games where her ultimate (Mantra) can be used effectively for picks or teamfight setups.
