How to beat Karma

Common role: Support / Mid

A poke enchanter whose empowered spells swing every trade.

What makes Karma dangerous

Karma pokes hard with Q (empowered: a slowing AoE burst), tethers a root (W) that also heals her, and shields with move speed (E — empowered covers the team). Her passive refunds her ultimate constantly, so the empowered spells come every few trades.

How to play against Karma

• 1Dodge the first Q of every trade — it's most of her damage.
• 2Break the W tether by walking away fast or through minions.
• 3Engage when her mantra (empowered spell) was just spent.
• 4She falls off — survive lane and out-scale her poke.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Skillshot-dependent poke — dodge Q and she does little.
• ✓Falls off in the late game versus real enchanters.
• ✓The W root needs a long tether — easy to break.
• ✓Squishy with no escape besides move speed.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Karma's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Fuego reunificador

  Las habilidades de daño de Karma reducen el enfriamiento de Mantra.

  Strong: her hits refund mantra constantly — empowered spells every few trades. Weak: predictable cadence: after a mantra, her threat dips.

• Q
  Llama interior

  Karma lanza una bola de energía espiritual que explota e inflige daño al golpear a una unidad enemiga.Bonificación de Mantra: Además de la explosión, Mantra aumenta el poder destructivo de Llama interior, lo que crea una onda abrasiva que inflige daño tras unos instantes.

  Strong: mantra-Q is an AoE burst with a heavy slow. Weak: a straight skillshot blocked by minions — keep the wave between you.

• W
  Resolución concentrada

  Karma crea un vínculo entre el objetivo enemigo y ella que inflige daño y lo revela. Si no se rompe el vínculo, el objetivo queda enraizado y vuelve a recibir daño.Bonificación de Mantra: Karma fortalece el vínculo, lo que, además de curarla, amplía la duración del enraizamiento.

  Strong: the tether roots and heals her at rank-up. Weak: needs sustained proximity — break the leash instantly.

• E
  Inspiración

  Karma invoca un escudo protector que absorbe el daño recibido y aumenta la velocidad de movimiento del aliado protegido.Bonificación de Mantra: El objetivo irradia energía, lo que refuerza el escudo inicial y aplica Inspiración a los campeones aliados cercanos.

  Strong: a speed shield; mantra version shields the whole team. Weak: shields, not health — burn through and keep pressing.

• R
  Mantra

  Karma potencia su siguiente habilidad para conseguir un efecto adicional. Mantra está disponible al nivel 1 y no necesita puntos de habilidad.

  Strong: no ult button — mantra just makes her basics elite on a short loop. Weak: no big fight-swing ult exists; her teamfight ceiling is capped.

Itemization

Sustain through poke (Doran's Shield lanes) and engage on mantra downtime. MR blunts her entire damage profile.
