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
  Concentration ardente

  Les compétences de Karma qui infligent des dégâts réduisent le délai de récupération de Mantra.

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

• Q
  Flamme intérieure

  Karma envoie une boule d'énergie spirituelle qui explose et inflige des dégâts au contact d'une unité ennemie.Bonus Mantra : en plus de l'explosion, Mantra augmente la puissance destructrice de Flamme intérieure, créant un cataclysme qui inflige des dégâts après un court délai.

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

• W
  Volonté concentrée

  Karma se lie à un ennemi, lui infligeant des dégâts et le révélant. Si le lien n'est pas brisé, l'ennemi sera immobilisé et subira de nouveau des dégâts.Bonus Mantra : Karma renforce le lien, ce qui la soigne et prolonge la durée de l'immobilisation.

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

• E
  Exaltation

  Karma invoque un bouclier qui absorbe les dégâts et qui augmente la vitesse de déplacement de l'allié protégé.Bonus Mantra : de l'énergie se diffuse depuis la cible, renforçant le bouclier initial et octroyant Exaltation aux champions alliés proches.

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

• R
  Mantra

  Karma renforce sa prochaine compétence pour qu'elle ait un effet supplémentaire. Mantra est disponible au niveau 1 sans nécessiter de point de compétence.

  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.
