Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior poke and sustain with W, especially since Karma's shields can't match your healing output.
- Post-6 your R gives strong engage potential, but Karma's R+E makes their disengage very strong.
Synergy & Trading
- Land Q on enemies then immediately follow with Caitlyn's Q for guaranteed poke damage while they're slowed.
- Use W to cleanse Jhin's W roots and sustain through Karma's poke, then re-engage when abilities are back up.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after pushing waves when Caitlyn can safely farm alone, typically around levels 6-9 when your R provides strong gank setup.
- Time roams when Karma recalls or when enemy bot is low and forced to back.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W healing when enemies aren't committing to trades, as you'll need it to cleanse Jhin's W in actual fights.
- Avoid using R defensively unless absolutely necessary since it's your primary tool for winning 2v2s and setting up ganks.
