Tips for Playing as Brand with Karma
You can use Brand's abilities in a variety of combinations to maximize his damage in different situations.
You can deter enemies from standing near their minions by setting them ablaze, due to Conflagration.
Pyroclasm bounces randomly between enemies, so try to cast it on a small group of enemies if you want to hit the same target multiple times.
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.
Brand Karma Synergy Stats
How to Play with Karma as Brand in LoL
The Brand Karma synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Karma, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Brand sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Karma. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Karma helps Brand perform worse in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Brand plays on the same team as Karma, he sees a marginal improvement in his full damage dealt. This change could signal that Karma helps provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Brand is played alongside Karma on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Karma. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Karma.
Additionally, when Brand plays with Karma on the same team, he typically takes significantly more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage may mean that Karma does a poor job of protecting Brand during team fights.

Is Brand better when played alongside Karma?
There is no one best companion for Brand that will always be his ideal ally. However, Karma is a relatively poor companion for Brand. By locking into the same side as Brand, she decreases their win rate by -2.2% to 49.2%. This signals that there is a harmful synergy between Brand and Karma that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.
Karma has a greater difficulty than Brand. That means you need to be cautious when finding Karma teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.
When playing on the same side, Brand players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. When paired, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Conversely, by grouping Brand and Karma together, you will not be providing your side a lot of AD. Plan to bring other champions on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of your Karma ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
