Guide to Synergizing Cho'Gath and Karma

Tips for Playing as Cho'Gath with Karma

Using Rupture on creeps in combination with Carnivore is a good way to gain Health and Mana.

If you're having difficulty feasting upon champions, try eating minions until you're larger.

Try to line up your attacks with Vorpal Spikes so that they kill minions and harass enemy champions at the same time.

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.

Is Cho'Gath better when played alongside Karma?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Cho'Gath that will always be his best ally. However, Karma is a below average ally for Cho'Gath. By locking into the same team as Cho'Gath, she decreases their win rate by -2.7% to 46.8%. This proves that there is a negative bond between Cho'Gath and Karma that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Working together, Cho'Gath players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Together, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by aligning Cho'Gath and Karma together, you probably will not be providing your other allies much AD. Plan to include other champions on your team that nullifies this relative hole in this pairing's capabilities.
