Guide to Synergizing Karma and Xerath

Tips for Playing as Karma with Xerath

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 Xerath Will Play

If you stun an enemy with Shocking Orb, follow up with a guaranteed center hit on Eye of Destruction.

It's easier to land Arcanopulse on an enemy when they're moving toward or away from you, rather than side to side.

Eye of Destruction will make landing Arcanopulse easier as the target will be slowed.

How to Play with Xerath as Karma in LoL

The Karma Xerath synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Xerath, 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 Xerath. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Xerath helps Karma perform worse in competitive League rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Karma is an ally to Xerath, she observes a marginal improvement in her total damage output. This change may signal that Xerath supports by providing protection for her to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Karma is played with Xerath on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Xerath. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Xerath.

Additionally, when Karma plays with Xerath on the same team, she usually takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Taking more damage could mean that Xerath does a poor job of protecting Karma during teamfights.
