Playing as Karma

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Deal damage to refresh Mantra

    Hit the enemy with your spells: Gathering Fire (passive) lowers the cooldown of Mantra (R) with each damaging ability.

  2. Mantra then Q to poke

    To poke, cast Mantra (R) then Inner Flame (Q) at a group: the explosion leaves a ring of fire that slows and deals more damage.

  3. Mantra then W at low health

    At low health, cast Mantra (R) then Focused Resolve (W): you restore part of your missing health at the start and end of the tether, and the root lasts longer.

  4. Mantra then E for the whole team

    In teamfights, cast Mantra (R) then Inspire (E) on an ally surrounded by the others: everyone gets a shield and move speed, to engage or to escape.

Playing against Morgana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Dark Binding (Q) roots the first enemy hit, so a single minion is enough to block it.

  2. Don't CC into her shield

    If you have CC, don't throw it into Black Shield (E): it blocks disabling and immobilizing CC while it holds, and only magic damage can break it sooner.

  3. Break her chains

    When Soul Shackles (R) binds you, move away from her to break the chain: otherwise, at the end, you take damage again and get stunned.

  4. Engage when her E is down

    Engage when Black Shield (E) is on cooldown: it comes back in 26 to 16 seconds, and without it, her allies have no protection against CC.
