Karma vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (R) (Q) poke and (E) shields to enable your ADC's forward trades and deny Anivia's zoning.
Control brush to limit (Q) stun angles and protect your ADC from her slow and stun.
Prioritize river vision and wave state to secure safe roam windows and objective setups.

Trading pattern

Engage trades with (R) (Q) poke when your ADC can immediately follow up under your (E) shield.
Hold (W) root to punish Anivia or her ADC when they overcommit after your poke.
Deny brush access to limit (Q) stun setup and force her to miss key abilities.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun combined with (R) slow zone for potential all-ins or disengages.
Beware of (W) terrain blocking escape paths, forcing your ADC into vulnerable positions.
Watch for enemy ADC follow-up during Anivia's cooldowns; your shield down means higher risk of engage.

Early game

Win level 2 by landing (R) (Q) and shielding your ADC before Anivia can chain (Q) stun and (E) damage.
Use early brush control to prevent (W) terrain from cutting off engage angles.
Crash wave to create roam timing once your ADC is safe and (Q) is on cooldown.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (R) (Q) poke plus (W) root, enabling stronger trades with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 completes your kit, allowing full poke, peel, and root combos around brush control.
First support item upgrade boosts shield and mana sustain, increasing lane tempo and ADC protection.

Win conditions

Convert (R) (Q) poke and (E) shields into ADC access to pressure plates and force recalls.
Deny Anivia's ADC positioning by controlling brush and river vision to prevent picks and zoning.
Use wave crashes to create safe roam windows for mid pressure and dragon vision control.
