When facing Karma's top counters like Rell, Zyra, Sona, consider adjusting your situational items to increase survivability and match their damage output. If counter champions are building high damage, prioritize armor items against AD-heavy counter picks or magic resistance items against AP threats in your situational item slots to reduce burst damage and improve trading potential. Your core build provides strong damage output. Against tanky counter picks, consider penetration items or percentage-based damage from your situational options to maintain kill pressure. Adapt your final build slots with items like Morellonomicon or Mikael's Blessing based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns. Monitor enemy builds and adjust accordingly for optimal Karma performance.
This Karma burst mage build is optimized for players looking to maximize their impact in League of Legends. This build maintains a solid 50.3% win rate based on 163 analyzed matches. The build's key strengths include devastating ability power scaling with 180 total AP, substantial health pool for survivability. Choose this build when your team needs magic damage, especially if teammates are primarily AD-focused. Karma with this build can punish teams that stack armor. Consider the enemy team composition when finalizing your situational items to maximize Karma's effectiveness. However, be aware that this build lacks defensive stats making Karma vulnerable to burst damage and limited ability haste may result in longer cooldowns. This build's moderate gold investment allows Karma to spike earlier in the game. Prioritize completing Moonstone Renewer, Redemption, Shurelya's Battlesong to maximize your mid-game impact. For optimal results with this Karma build, focus on proper itemization timing, positioning in teamfights, and adapting your situational items based on the specific challenges each game presents.
