Karma has a lower difficulty than Caitlyn. That means you don't need to be cautious when arranging Karma teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Combined, these champions are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
