Guide to Synergizing Zoe and Karma

Tips for Playing as Zoe with Karma

Sleepy Trouble Bubble travels further over walls. Find a hiding spot to set up for a long distance kill.

Break Sleep with your biggest damage source, since enemies who are asleep take double damage.

Paddle Star deals more damage the further it has flown. Casting it behind yourself before redirecting can deal tons of damage.

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.

How to Play with Karma as Zoe in LoL

The Zoe Karma synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Karma, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Zoe sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Karma. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Karma helps Zoe perform worse in ranked League matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Zoe is paired with Karma, she gets a small increase in her complete damage output. This difference could signal that Karma supports by providing cover for her to dish out more damage or that her allyship also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Zoe is played together with Karma on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Karma.

Moreover, when Zoe plays with Karma on the same team, she often receives a little less damage than when she fights alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Karma does a decent job of covering Zoe in teamfights.

Is Zoe better when played alongside Karma?

There is no ideal companion for Zoe that will no matter what be her ideal teammate. Yet, Karma is a not very good companion for Zoe. By playing on the same side as Zoe, she decreases their win rate by -1.3% to 45.7%. This shows that there is a negative synergy between Zoe and Karma that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Karma has a lower difficulty than Zoe. That means Zoe players don't need to be very careful when arranging Karma comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to fight well with you.

When playing together, Zoe players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. When paired, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by grouping Zoe and Karma together, you may not be providing your team very much attack damage. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Karma ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
