Karma vs Nami

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (R) (Q) poke to control brush and deny Nami ADC access early.
Shield ADC trades with (E) to enable aggressive plate pressure and protect against Nami's poke.
Avoid overpushing without river vision to prevent Nami's engage or bubble setups from fog or brush.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (R) (Q) poke followed by (E) shield to enable ADC follow-up safely.
Hold (W) root for punishing Nami or her ADC when they overcommit after shield cooldown.
Deny brush and track Nami's bubble cooldown to avoid engage windows and punish missed CC.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) bubble range, especially after slows from (E) or (R), to avoid ADC burst.
Beware of Nami's level 6 (R) engage or disengage timing that can catch your ADC out of position.
Watch for Nami exploiting brush or fog to land bubbles; maintain vision and deny brush control.

Early game

Win level 2 by combining (R) (Q) poke and shielded ADC trades to secure lane priority.
Deny Nami brush control to reduce her bubble angles and limit her engage threat.
Coordinate wave crash timing with ADC before roaming to maintain lane safety and vision control.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (R) (Q) poke plus (E) shield, increasing lane pressure and ADC safety.
Level 3 completes kit with (W) root, enabling stronger peel and punish on Nami's engage attempts.
Level 6 ultimate empowers poke, peel, and roam potential; use with ADC follow-up and river vision for objective control.

Win conditions

Convert (R) (Q) poke and (E) shield into sustained ADC pressure to secure plates and dragon vision.
Deny enemy ADC positioning by controlling brush and wave state before Nami can engage.
Use roam windows after wave crash with ultimate ready to assist mid or prepare objective setups safely.
