Abilities
Karma's damaging abilities reduce Mantra's cooldown.
Karma fires a spirit bolt that explodes on impact; with Mantra, it creates a delayed cataclysm.
Karma tethers an enemy, rooting them after a delay, or healing herself with extended root duration.
Shields an ally and grants Move Speed; Mantra spreads the shield and speed to nearby allies.
Karma empowers her next ability for an enhanced effect; available at level 1 without a skill point.
Guide
In ARAM, Karma excels as a poke and utility mage, using Mantra to empower her abilities for AoE damage, shields, or roots. Focus on poking with Q, shielding allies with E, and saving Mantra for teamfights to maximize impact.
Tips
Use Mantra (R) on your shield (E) to give your whole team a massive speed boost and shield in ARAM teamfights.
Maximize poke damage by using Mantra on your Q (Inner Flame) to hit multiple enemies in narrow ARAM lanes.
Save your Mantra for key moments-don't waste it on a single target when a teamfight is imminent.
Build ability haste items like Liandry's Anguish or Moonstone Renewer to spam your abilities more often in ARAM.
Position behind your frontline to safely poke with Q and shield allies with E without getting caught.
Combos
R+E -> Q -> W: Use Mantra shield to engage or disengage, then poke with Q and root with W.
R+Q -> E -> W: Start with a Mantra-empowered Q for AoE damage, then shield allies and root a priority target.
Q -> W -> R+E: Poke with Q, root with W, then use Mantra shield to protect your team during the fight.
