Prioritize river vision to track Karma's roam timer and protect your ADC from poke follow-ups.

Trading pattern

Hide (Q) threat in brush and engage when (E) shield is down to maximize ADC damage.
Use (E) to cut off Karma's escape and secure stuns for your ADC's burst.
Hold engage until your ADC is ready to follow, avoiding wasted cooldowns against Karma's shield.

Danger windows
