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 Soraka

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her star

    Dodge Starcall (Q): if it hits a champion, Soraka heals and speeds up, and can pass that heal on to an ally.

  2. Leave her Equinox fast

    Get out of Equinox (E) fast: you're silenced inside, and rooted if you're still there when the zone disappears.

  3. Focus her, not the healed ally

    If you can reach her, focus Soraka rather than the ally she heals: she has no dash, and each Astral Infusion (W) costs her health.

  4. Finish in a single burst

    Finish your targets in a single burst: Wish (R) heals them wherever they are, and more below 40% health.
