Tips for Playing as Karma with Varus
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 Varus Will Play
Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're trying to flee.
An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.
During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.
Karma Varus Synergy Stats
How to Play with Varus as Karma in LoL
The Karma Varus synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Varus, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Karma sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Varus. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Varus helps Karma perform not as well in ranked League matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Karma tries to synergize with Varus, she sees a barely noticable drop in her total damage dealt. This difference could signal that Varus does not help cover for her to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Karma is played alongside Varus on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Varus. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Varus.
Additionally, when Karma plays with Varus on the same side, she often receives a little less damage than when she fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Varus does a decent job of covering Karma in team fights.

Is Karma better when played alongside Varus?
There is no ideal champion pairing for Karma that will 100% of the time be her best synergy. However, overall, Varus is a very typical companion for Karma. By being on the same side as Karma, he drops their win rate by -1.0% to 47.3%. This shows that there is only a small synergy between Karma and Varus that results in them performing not as well together than alone.
Varus has a much lower diffuclty than Karma. That means Karma players don't need to be very careful when finding Varus comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.
When playing on the same side, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. Combined, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Although, by aligning Karma and Varus together, you probably will not be giving your side very much sustained damage output. Plan to pick other champions on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Varus ally, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
