Who Wins
- Pre-6 you provide good setup with E but lack damage to match Karma's R+Q burst in extended trades.
- Post-6 you excel with R+E combos that create picks and your enhanced damage from portal jumps.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E through minions to catch enemies, then Q for damage while your ADC follows up with autos and abilities.
- Your best pattern is E sleep into Q+auto+passive, allowing Caitlyn to place W traps and get free headshots.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when you have R and can make picks with E+R combos, especially mid lane or river skirmishes.
- Best timings are after level 6 when you can R over walls for unexpected angles on your sleep bubble.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use R aggressively without vision as Karma can easily R+Q you during your return animation.
- Never waste E on minions when enemies are nearby - it's your only reliable setup tool for kills.
