Karma

Mage

No mortal exemplifies the spiritual traditions of Ionia more than Karma.

Strengths

  • 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.
  • Don't be too conservative with Mantra. Gathering Fire is strongest in teamfights, making it easy to recharge Mantra multiple times.

Abilities

  • Passive · Gathering Fire — Karma's damaging abilities will reduce the cooldown of Mantra.
  • Q · Inner Flame — Karma sends forth a ball of spirit energy that explodes and deals damage upon hitting an enemy unit. Mantra Bonus: In addition to the explosion, Mantra increases the destructive power of her Inner Flame, creating a cataclysm which deals damage after a short delay.
  • W · Focused Resolve — Karma creates a tether between herself and a targeted enemy, dealing damage and revealing them. If the tether is not broken, the enemy will be rooted and damaged again. Mantra Bonus: Karma strengthens the link, healing herself and extending the root duration.
  • E · Inspire — Karma summons a protective shield that absorbs incoming damage and increases the Move Speed of the protected ally. Mantra Bonus: Energy radiates out from her target, strengthening the initial shield and applying Inspire to nearby allied champions.
  • Ultimate · Mantra — Karma empowers her next ability to do an additional effect. Mantra is available at level 1 and does not require a skill point.

Team Composition

A suggested 5-lane lineup built around Karma, based on hero partnerships and role synergy — not win rate.
