Karma Matchups Overview
Karma General information
Karma tips and tricks
In team fights, use your empowered E rather than your empowered Q as the shield is more valuable in a team fight.
Try and poke the enemy down as much as possible with your Q in the early game. Use your level 1 ability advantage to get a lot of damage down early.
When playing against hard engage level 1 champions like Nautilus, Thresh, Alistar, Blitzcrank do not start Q. Starting E is a better- safer option.
