Guide to Synergizing Amumu and Karma

Tips for Playing as Amumu with Karma

Despair is very effective against other tanks, so make sure you're in range of opponents with the highest Health.

Amumu is highly dependent on teammates, so try laning with your friends for maximum effectiveness.

Cooldown Reduction on Amumu is very strong, but it's often difficult to itemize for it. Grab the Golem buff whenever possible to gain Cooldown Reduction without sacrificing stats.

Advice to Understand How Karma Will Play

Don't be too conservative with Mantra. Gathering Fire is strongest in teamfights, making it easy to recharge Mantra multiple times.

Gathering Fire rewards aggressive play. Look to land abilities and basic attacks on your opponent to lower Mantra's cooldown and stay on the offensive.

When using Focused Resolve, slow your opponents with Inner Flame or speed yourself up with Inspire if you're having trouble sticking to a target.
