Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 2v2s due to your short range against Kai'Sa's superior poke and Karma's Q harass, making trades heavily favor them.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R engage potential, but still struggle if behind due to range disadvantage.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for W engage opportunities when Alistar lands Q+W combo, then follow up with Q to maximize damage during the CC chain.
- Your best trades happen when you can W through minions to gap close, then Q+auto before disengaging with the movement speed.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early waves aggressively to hit level 2 first and create engage windows, then look to freeze near your tower to force Kai'Sa into Alistar's engage range.
- Avoid slow pushing mid-game as it gives Karma too much poke opportunity.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't W forward without Alistar's engage tools available, as you'll be isolated and easily punished by Karma's Q+W combo.
- Never try to trade when Karma has R+Q available, as the empowered damage will chunk you heavily.
