Who Wins
- You win level 2 with E-W combo setting up Caitlyn's damage, but lose level 6 when Ashe R can lock you down through your R healing.
- Karma's R-W root becomes deadly when combined with Ashe's follow-up damage.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for E pulls when enemies step up to farm, immediately W for the root extension while Caitlyn follows with W-Q.
- Use Q to heal back from Karma poke, but save E cooldown for when Ashe positions aggressively.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after shoving waves post-6 when your R is available for skirmishes, especially to mid lane or jungle fights.
- Time roams when Ashe has no R or when Karma used R defensively, as they can't match your teamfight impact.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E on minions for waveclear as it's your only engage tool against high mobility opponents.
- Avoid using R too early in trades when Karma can R-W root you, preventing your healing and making you an easy target.
