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
  寄せ火

  自身の攻撃スキルが「マントラ」のクールダウンを短縮する。

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

• Q
  心炎

  精神の炎を解き放ち、敵に命中すると爆発してダメージを与える。マントラボーナス: 爆発の威力が増し、さらに対象の足下に力場を発生させて範囲内に時間差でダメージを与える。

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

• W
  魂縛

  自身と標的を鎖でつなぎダメージを与え、ステルス状態を見破る。効果終了時まで鎖が破壊されなければ、敵はその場でスネア状態となり再びダメージを受ける。マントラボーナス: 鎖が強化され自身の体力を回復し、敵に与えるスネア状態の効果時間が延長される。

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

• E
  激励

  指定した味方ユニットにシールドを付与し、ダメージから守ると同時に移動速度を増加させる。マントラボーナス: 対象からエネルギーが放射され、初期シールドを強化し、周囲にいる味方チャンピオンにも「激励」の効果を付与する。

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

• R
  マントラ

  カルマが次に使用するスキルを強化し追加効果を付与する。「マントラ」はレベル1から使用でき、スキルポイントを必要としない。

  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.
