Tips for Playing as Karma with Samira

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

Is Karma better when played alongside Samira?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Karma that will always be her best ally. However, overall, Samira is a terrible ally for Karma. By being on the same side as Karma, she drops their win rate by -3.7% to 44.6%. This clearly indicates that there is an easy to overcome and exploit synergy between Karma and Samira that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Samira has a greater difficulty than Karma. That means Karma players must be careful when finding Samira teammates to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Fighting alongside, Karma players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to tank a lot of damage. Together, these champions might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.

In contrast, by grouping Karma and Samira together, you will not be granting your team a lot of support. Plan to bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their abilities.

Regardless of your Samira ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
