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 Thresh

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Keep minions between you and Thresh: Death Sentence (Q) stuns and pulls the first unit hit, so one minion is enough to block it.

  2. Step up after a missed hook

    Step up when Death Sentence (Q) misses you: he keeps its full cooldown, 19 to 9 seconds, which only goes down if the hook lands.

  3. Don't give him free autos

    Don't stay in his range for no reason: Flay (E) charges his autos between hits, and a charged auto hits hard early on.

  4. Beware the first wall of his box

    Avoid being the first to break a wall of The Box (R): that one slows and deals full damage. After that, the remaining walls deal no damage.
