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 Renata Glasc

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Handshake (Q) roots the first enemy hit, then can throw them into their allies.

  2. Step up after a missed Handshake

    Step up when Handshake (Q) misses you: it's her only root, with a 16-second cooldown at every rank.

  3. Target her: she has no dash

    If you can engage, target Renata: her kit has no dash to escape.

  4. Spread out from your carries

    Spread out from your allies when she casts Hostile Takeover (R): berserk, you attack the nearest unit, your allies first.

  5. Don't hand them a kill

    When an enemy survives thanks to Bailout (W), back off rather than offer a kill: they lose their health over 3 seconds, and only a takedown saves them.
