Guide to Synergizing Karma and Shyvana

Tips for Playing as Karma with Shyvana

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.

Advice to Understand How Shyvana Will Play

It can be valuable to purchase one of the items that can slow enemies: Frozen Mallet, Dead Man's Plate, or Entropy.

Shyvana's abilities all benefit from attacking units. As a result, Attack Speed items are more valuable on her than most champions.

Burnout is an ideal choice for jungling. Monsters will be hit by the full duration, and the speed boost improves her ganking potential.

Flame Breath is great to level-up against difficult lane opponents.

Overall, Karma sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shyvana. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This may indicate that Shyvana does not help cover for her to deal more damage or that her participation also helps increase the match's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Shyvana.

Additionally, when Karma plays with Shyvana on the same team, she typically receives a little less damage than when she fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could indicate that Shyvana does a decent job of protecting Karma in team fights.

Is Karma better when played alongside Shyvana?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Karma that will 100% of the time be her ideal synergy. However, overall, Shyvana is a not very good teammate for Karma. By locking into the same team as Karma, she decreases their win rate by -1.8% to 46.5%. This demonstrates that there is a bad bond between Karma and Shyvana that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Shyvana has a lower difficulty than Karma. That means you don't need to be careful when lining up Shyvana teammates to play with, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Working cooperatively, Karma players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to tank a lot of damage. When paired, these champs might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.

Although, by bringing Karma and Shyvana together, you will not be providing your other allies much support. We recommend you have other champions on your team that fills this relative gap in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Shyvana ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
