Karma's Spells

Heavenly Wave: Karma sends forth a wave of hidden blades from her fans, dealing magic damage to units in a cone in front of her.

•Mantra Bonus: In addition to dealing damage to enemies, Heavenly Wave will also heal allies in the cone. The amount healed is amplified depending upon the amount of life Karma, or her allies are missing
Spirit Bond: Karma bonds an ally or enemy creating a beam between them. Bonded allies have increased movement speed and bonded enemies have reduced movement speed. Enemy units that come in contact with the beam take magic damage, and champions who pass through the beam receive the same movement speed modifier as bonded champions.

•Mantra Bonus: Karma imbues the beam to grant bonus movement speed to any ally that passes through the beam. Any enemy that passes through the beam suffers reduced movement speedKarma strengthens the bond to double the effect of the movement speed modifier.
Soul Shield: Karma summons a protective shield that absorbs incoming damage.

•Mantra Bonus: In addition to the shield, energy radiates out from the shield, dealing damage to enemy units around the recipient.
Mantra (Ultimate): Karma empowers her next ability to do an additional effect. Mantra is available at level 1 and does not require a skill point.

Inner Flame (Passive): Karma gains increased Ability Power corresponding to her missing Health.

Runes

AP Nuke


For the Nuke build I go Magic Penetration/Mana Regen per Level and Straight Ability Power. Why would you do that eQuality77? Well the reason I do that is because most people will be some of those beggars heal me heal me heal me! Well you should always be a team player and try to heal them and shield them but doing this will make you go OOM way to fast to be able to succeed. Later game is when you wont be so relied on to heal and shield you should be expecting yourself to do it on a team member successfully though. The Ability Power at lvl one is always helpful and the Magic Pen is a must if you do no choose to get Sorcerer Boots.

Support


For the Support I take the Magic penetration for the same reason....... If you do not get some magic pen you will not be able to do anything at all. Armor and Magic Resistance? Why? The reason I get this is because I use them to be able to stay in lane longer. This build is made so that while your team mates are pushing another lane or ganking you can hold your lane alone without the need of going back. You will after some time but you definately wont at first.

Masteries

AP Nuke


The masteries for the AP nuke are your basic caster masteries getting the increased mana regen..... CDR and Magic Penetration these will help you extremely in the games.

Support


These masteries are very strange...... The reason I go these masteries are so that with the lack of mana regen runes you will gain it from the spec...... Taking exhaust with her is to make sure you have an echaust you are open for other spells, Also these are basic caster masteries just more for support....

Items

AP Nuke



Doran's Ring: This is an amazing starter item for casters..... (Lame that they increased the price but w/e) The Mana Regen/Ability Power/Health is very good for any caster. Plus this item will be sold so you can choose something else if you do not like the idea of an item that wont build into something.

Ionian Boots of Lucidity: These boots are not something that you want to miss out on with her. The CDR with the Death Fire Grasp on top of your masteries will bring you to 39% CDR 40% is the max. Using these boots will make it so that your ultimate can regen every 15 seconds instead of 30 which is awesome. Also they are new so they must be OP right?????

Deathcap: This is a major AP Nuke Item! This item alone gives you around 230 AP. Which is alot! If you want to skip on this I cant stop you but I would not recommend doing that because it will be bad in the end. This item increases ur AP by way to much. Do not not get this!

Void Staff: This item is another core item that I wouldnt consider dropping. This item gives you 40% magic penetration meaning the more magic resistance they have the more you penetrate.
You will want this to make the tanks run in fear lol. Another thing I can say about this is it gives a decent amount of AP so that also helps to your nuking.

Deathfire Grasp: This item helps you because you can shoot a ball at them to hurt them for a lot. Also it gives a nice amouth of CDR and also ability power and mana regen. This item is an all out amazing item for an AP Nuke. You should want this because it will help you insanely because of the activate.

Banshee's Veil: This item is important because of its effect. Its puts a shield on you every 30 seconds to block a spell this will save your life every now and then. Also getting health and mana will keep you in the fight longer. So Id advise you get this but if you do not like Banshees I would get a Guardians Angel atleast.

Zhonya's Hourglass: This item is important because it gives you invinsibility which will throw people off. Using this to engage a team fight is very smart but risky. I would use this wisely with your Cool downs also. Be smart with it and you will win.

Support

Mercury Treads: The reason I get this is for the CC. When you are a support you are going to be up in the fight with the tanks trying to keep them buffed with speed and shields. Using these will reduce the times of all those stuns/slows/snares ect.

Shurelya's Reverie: I get this because the health will help you alot when you need to hold a lane alone. Also the health regen and mana regen help too. Plus the active!!!!! This speed buff on top of your Mantra: Soul Link is actually 80% movement speed bonus you will be out so fast that the enemies will think your a Rammus using powerball!!!!!!

Soul Shroud: The reason I get this is because it gives an AoE mana regen and also it gives a big health bonus. Using this will making you stay in the fight buffing tanks even more then it would have before.

Spirit Visage: Get this so that your heal will heal you for more you will get health and more health regen. All of these items are focusing on keeping you in the fight so that you can buff ur team.

Banshee's Veil: This item is important because of its effect. Its puts a shield on you every 30 seconds to block a spell this will save your life every now and then. Also getting health and mana will keep you in the fight longer. So Id advise you get this but if you do not like Banshees I would get a Guardians Angel atleast.
