More Gameplay Tips for Karma Players

Tips and Tricks

Karma is a ranged champion that excels in quick engages during the laning phase. You can harass the enemy with Inner Flare or hit the creep wave to help your partner last hit

If you make Focused Resolve's tether duration complete, you can root enemies and then use Flare to deal more damage.

Additional Karma Build Insights

LoL Karma players could find her to be a difficult champ to build out properly. You will see that her build is modified when she is up against either well-rounded or highly focused team comps, meaning you should not follow the same Karma build every single game of League of Legends

The most essential items to use in your champion's build are: Shurelya's Battlesong, Ardent Censer, and Staff of Flowing Water. Players who added these items in their kits had a better winrate than players who went for other builds for Karma. Moreover, if you are trying to beat a mixed enemy team composition, you should strongly consider getting Karma the Sorcery, and Domination runes. In recent games, she won the greatest percentage of her games when built with these runes.

We set our Karma build recommendations by examining 42,203 recently ranked League matches with her in them. We only advise the highest winrate Karma builds that were built by ranked LoL players enough times for us to suggest them. With so many matches in our data, we are very confident in our recommended builds.
