Rell vs Karma

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control to hide engage angles and create multi-target lockdown for ADC follow-up.
Prioritize crashing waves with your ADC to enable safe all-ins before Karma's poke zones become oppressive.
Maintain river vision to deny Karma's roam attempts and secure dragon setup for your team.

Trading pattern

Engage from brush using (W), chain (E) stun, and layer (R) to lock down grouped targets for ADC follow-up.
Hold engage cooldowns until your ADC can immediately commit, avoiding slow, exposed misses.
Deny Karma's shield timing by forcing committed all-ins after her (E) shield is spent.

Danger windows

Respect (E) shield and speed boost that enable her ADC's aggressive trades and disengage.
Avoid engaging when (R) enhanced (Q) poke is available to prevent burst damage on your ADC.
Beware Karma's empowered (W) root tether that punishes overextensions and weak brush control.

Early game

Win the level 2 race by coordinating (W) engage with your ADC's damage for immediate pressure.
Deny Karma's brush control to limit her poke angles and protect your ADC's forward trades.
Crash the wave quickly after level 2 to open roam windows while ensuring ADC safety.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (W) engage and (Q) poke, enabling strong all-in windows with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 grants full CC chain, increasing lockdown potential around brush control and enemy cooldowns.
Level 6 (R) creates multi-target pull, enhancing teamfight entry and objective control with your ADC.

Win conditions

Convert lane control into ADC access by forcing committed engages and denying Karma's poke shields.
Roam after wave crashes with vision control to pressure mid and secure dragon setups.
Use multi-target (R) pulls to create lockdown zones for your ADC's AoE damage in teamfights.
