Karma vs Braum

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (R) (Q) poke and (E) shield to enable your ADC's forward trades and deny Braum's engage angles.
Control brush to prevent Braum from stacking his passive and engaging safely on your ADC.
Maintain lane pressure to secure river vision and create roam windows after wave crashes.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (R) (Q) poke and immediately shield your ADC to enable aggressive follow-up.
Hold (E) shield for Braum's engage attempts or to speed up your ADC's repositioning.
Deny Braum brush and punish cooldowns on his (E) shield by crashing waves and forcing him to reposition.

Danger windows

(E) shield can block your key poke and ultimate, so bait it before committing to trades.
Braum's passive stun stacks become dangerous when his ADC can quickly follow up; avoid extended fights without shield.
(R) knockup enables engage or disengage; respect its cooldown to prevent your ADC from being caught out.

Early game

Win the level 2 race by landing (R) (Q) and shielding your ADC to pressure Braum's engage.
Use wave push to force Braum and his ADC under turret, limiting their passive stacking and follow-up.
Deny Braum brush control early to reduce his engage threat and protect your ADC's positioning.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (R) (Q) poke and (W) root for stronger trades; use this to pressure Braum before he stacks passive.
Level 3 completes your kit with root and shield, enabling safer poke and peel around brush control.
Level 6 ultimate boosts all-in or peel potential; use it with confirmed ADC follow-up and river vision control.

Win conditions

Convert poke and shielded trades into lane priority to deny Braum's ADC access and stack passive.
Use wave control and brush denial to create safe roam windows for mid pressure or vision setup around dragon.
Leverage your ultimate with ADC follow-up for favorable 2v2 fights and objective setups, maximizing your lane impact.
