Who Wins

Pre-6, you win short trades if you land your Q hook because Yunara is immobile and your E slow plus passive root gives your Hwei free damage; however, Karma's shields and R-empowered Q poke make extended trades risky early, so you need to hook first or the trade flips.
Post-6, you have a strong all-in window since Yunara has no escape without her R active, but if she has R up the fight becomes much harder as she gains a dash and sustained DPS that outpaces your burst window.

Your job is to hook Yunara specifically, not Karma, because Yunara without R is immobile and dies to a full Hwei combo after your chain CC; land Q, immediately E to close gap, auto to proc passive root, and let Hwei unload his full rotation before Karma can shield.
Avoid hooking Karma into your team since she is the less threatening target and you waste your cooldown.

You should not hard shove the wave because Yunara with Q active has strong on-hit wave clear and you want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to force Yunara to overextend for CS, creating hook angles.
Letting the wave bounce back toward you denies Yunara safe farm and gives you repeated hook opportunities without diving into Karma's poke range.

Do not use your Q on Karma when Yunara is the kill target — Karma is tankier in short windows due to shields and your hook cooldown is long enough that missing or wasting it on the wrong target gives Yunara a free window to stack Q and trade back safely with Karma's empowerment.
