Introduction

So... Karma has been reworked and I played a few of games with her... One word that I can use to describe her is CRAZY! She has an AOE skill-shot, she can win almost every trade with the HP gain from her W. Her shield... OP. In a team-fight, Karma can use her ultimate and use her shield to have a 5 man shield and it also deals damage to the other team. So I decided to make an account on MOBAfire and create a Karma guild! <3.

Masteries

  • This masterie is a pretty standard masterie on APC. This masterie gives Karma a pretty decent amount of AP, magic penetration, cooldown reduction, armor, magic resist, and health.
  • I choose to put a point in Spellsword because Karma's auto-attack deals less than 60 damage at level one. Karma also runs out of mana pretty quickly, so she doesn't want to waste her mana on farming. Spellsword helps Karma to farm because it converts 5% of Karma's AP into bonus damage once she attacks.

Items

Item Sequence

Rabadon's Deathcap 3600
Liandry's Torment 3000
Athene's Unholy Grail 2250
  • These are the MUST BUY items on Karma.
    Great magic penetration and also grants movement speed.
    This is Infinity Edge for AP casters. Duh!
    "IT BURNS!!! IT BURNS!!!" - Cho'Gath
    This item gives Karma some great mana regeneration and cooldown reduction.

Item Sequence

Rylai's Crystal Scepter 2600
Void Staff 3000
Deathfire Grasp 3100
Guardian Angel 3200
  • These are MUST BUY items on Karma too, but pick either Rod of Ages or Rylai's Crystal Scepter. pick either Void Staff, Deathfire Grasp, or Guardian Angel
    This item gives Karma more HP and MP which helps Karma to stay in fights longer.
    This item gives Karma a passive slow, some AP, and 500 HP.
    Great item for late game when magic resist is a problem.
    This item has a huge nuke that can shut down other people hard. After a target is hit by the nuke, the target's HP is decreased by 15% and takes 20% more magic damage.
    I don't think this is a great item for Karma but you can get it when you are getting focused/CC hard.

Unique Skills

Rylai's Crystal Scepter combined with Focused Resolve is a nightmare. The passive slow from Rylai's Crystal Scepter is great combined with Focused Resolve because Focused Resolve is a damage-over-time spell so the slow apply every second from the Rylai's Crystal Scepter. This also prevents most escape from Ghost or any movement speed spells like Garen's Decisive Strike.
