Trading pattern

Poke with (E) to pressure Karma and force her shield, then punish shield cooldown with (Q) root.
Hold (Q) to punish (R) (Q) splash or to peel when she tries to root your ADC.
Sync engage timing with ADC's damage window after landing (Q) to maximize burst and follow-up.

Danger windows

(R) (Q) splash combined with ADC trades creates high poke pressure; avoid overextending.
Empowered (W) root tether threatens your ADC if you misposition or waste (Q) early.

Control brush to block (R) (Q) poke angles and protect ADC access.

Level 6 (R) grants long-range burst and pick threat; use it to confirm picks or force enemy disengage.
First mage item completion boosts poke and wave control; pressure Karma's shield cooldowns more confidently.

Win conditions
