Additional Karma Build Insights

League of Legends Karma players will likely find her to be a confusing champ to build out properly. You'll see that her build changes when she is fighting either well-rounded or specialized team compositions, demonstrating you shouldn't follow the same Karma build every game of League of Legends

The best items to incorporate into your champ's build are: Echoes of Helia, Imperial Mandate, and Staff of Flowing Water. Players who included these pieces in their builds had a higher winrate than players who utilized other Karma builds. Similarly, if you are trying to beat a varied enemy team composition, you should strongly consider getting Karma the Sorcery, and Resolve runes. In recent matches, she won the largest percentage of her matches when equipped with these runes.

We set our Karma build suggestions by analyzing 69,811 recently ranked League matches with her in them. We only advise the top winrate Karma builds that have been built by ranked LoL players enough times for us to propose them. With so many rounds in our data, we are quite confident in our recommended builds.
