Karma vs Vel'Koz

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (R) (Q) poke to pressure Vel'Koz and create ADC follow-up windows.
Control brush to deny Vel'Koz's split (Q) poke angles and protect ADC access.
Prioritize shielding and speed boosts to enable your ADC's trades and disengage from Vel'Koz's poke.

Trading pattern

Engage with (R) (Q) poke followed by (W) root when ADC can immediately trade.
Hold (E) shield to peel (E) knockup or protect ADC from his (Q) poke.
Deny Vel'Koz brush control to limit his poke angles and force him to use (E) defensively.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup cooldown as his main self-peel and engage tool.
Avoid standing near brush without vision to prevent surprise poke angles from split (Q).
Be cautious when Vel'Koz channels (R), as it can finish slowed or rooted targets if unprotected.

Early game

Win level 2 with shield plus root combo to secure ADC trades and brush control.
Push early waves to force Vel'Koz and ADC under turret, limiting their poke angles.
Use wave pressure to set up safe roams with river vision for mid and dragon control.

Power spikes

Level 2: (R) (Q) plus (W) root unlocks strong poke and peel, pressuring Vel'Koz's engage.
Level 3: Full kit access enhances shielding and crowd control, improving ADC protection and follow-up.
Level 6: Ultimate empowers poke, peel, and disengage; use with ADC follow-up or to reset fights.

Win conditions

Convert (R) (Q) poke and shielding into lane priority to deny Vel'Koz's ADC access.
Use brush control and wave state to create safe roam windows and vision around dragon.
Coordinate ultimate timing with ADC to enable strong all-in or disengage during objective setups.

Tip: For Karma vs Vel'Koz, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
