She has excellent waveclear and splash damage with her Q. This allows her to get lane priority and help her other laners/Jungler when they are contesting objectives.
Her E allows her to shield everyone in her team. It also allows her to increase the movement speed of the allied team, which can help them catch out an over extended enemy.
When fighting 1 v 1 she practically doesn’t have a weakness when all of her spells are up. If someone tries to come close to her, she can just Q them and run away, If she is getting engaged upon, she can use her E and Ultimate R empowered W to both disengage and get back a lot of health. Her Ultimate R is the backbone of her strength in the lane and proper usage will let her get ahead.
Unlike most champions, Karma unlocks her Ultimate R at level 1. This means that at level 6, she doesn’t have as much pressure in comparison to a lot of other champions especially if they’re level 6 power spike is very strong.
Whenever Karma’s E is down, she is vulnerable to attack and will need to play safely while it’s on cooldown.
Her Q can easily be avoided if the enemy builds up a huge wave or positions correctly. Even the splash damage won’t be enough to get past a huge minion wave.

Poke the enemy as much as possible with your Q to get them low. Use your early lane dominance to gain a health advantage over the enemy.
Focus on farming and poking during the laning phase. You shouldn’t really commit to fighting the enemy.
At level 6, Karma doesn’t gain access to an Ultimate R like most champions. If you’re playing against someone with a strong all-in, play safe whenever their Ultimate R is up.
15 - 25 min
Once your bottom lane rotates to the top lane, go to a side lane and start to farm. Try not to fall behind in gold and XP by sharing it with your ADC and Support.
In team fights, use your empowered E to provide a large shield to your allies. Unless you need to use your W or Q, you should try to use your E to help them survive.
Delay team fights for as long as possible in the mid game while you poke and harass the enemy with your Q.
25+ min
Stay with your team in the late game. Getting caught out will result in the enemy forcing a fight or taking the Baron. Avoid straying too far away from them.
Protect your allies as much as possible in team fights. Keeping them alive for as long as possible while dealing damage will increase your chances of winning the game.
In team fights, use your empowered E to provide a large shield to your allies. Unless you need to use your Q or W, you should try to use your E to help them survive.
Karma early game poke is really obnoxious, especially for laners who are melee in nature. She can use her Q to both poke and wave clear simultaneously, which allows her to get lane priority, and her Jungler can safely invade the enemy as a result.
The first component offers a lot of poke from Karma's end as it increases the damage of her Q and allows her to use it frequently as she will have more mana to use.
Level 6 isn't a huge spike, but it definitely increases the amount of poke damage she can deal with her abilities. Her empowered Q is a force to reckon with once she hits level 6. Using the lane brushes will offer an additional layer of safety to Karma while ensuring that the enemy laner has a horrible time in the lane.
Her poke damage will be a force to reckon with as she can quickly push her laner out of the top lane. She can also set up ganks and provide utility with her W and E.
Karma will be able to max out her Q at level nine. This is terrible news for her enemies as her AoE poke damage will be really obnoxious for the enemy to deal with.
Level eleven will be a decent power spike due to her ability empowerment potential. This will come in really handy during significant fights in the objective pits.
Her 2nd ability will be maxed out at level 13. Depending on the maxed ability, she will either be able to CC enemies frequently while regenerating HP or easily shield her team from enemy poke and all-ins.
Karma will have multiple items completed during this stage of the game. This will allow her to dish out a lot of damage while peeling for her carries at the same time.
Her poke damage will be pretty significant during the late game, and that ability will be up quite frequently. This means her DPS will be through the roof, which is highly beneficial for her team.
