Who Wins
- You lose level 2 all-ins due to Kai'Sa's burst potential with Karma's E shield and movement speed, but you have better poke range.
- At level 6, you gain significant kill pressure with R execute potential if you've stacked Overwhelm through Q poke, though Karma's R+E can still enable strong engages.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to poke and stack Overwhelm while Nami provides sustain, then look for E root setups when enemies are slowed by Nami's E or bubbled by her Q.
- Your W can reflect Karma's Q poke back at them, creating favorable trades when timed correctly.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves with Q to maintain range advantage and prevent Kai'Sa from farming safely, using your superior waveclear to create roam timings for Nami.
- Avoid hard shoving without vision since Karma can set up ganks easily with her E movement speed.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W on Karma's empowered Q since she can easily reposition with her E, save it for reflecting multiple projectiles or key abilities.
- Avoid using E aggressively without Nami's follow-up since you lack escape tools if the enemy engages on you.
