Rakan vs Karma

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control to threaten engage angles and protect ADC from Karma's poke.
Enable ADC follow-up by timing (W) knockups with ADC trades after Karma's shield cooldown.
Prioritize river vision to deny Karma's roam and secure dragon setup.

Trading pattern

Engage with (W) when (E) shield is down to maximize ADC follow-up damage.
Hold (E) to peel if Karma's empowered (W) root threatens ADC positioning.
Use brush and minion positioning to approach for (W) without getting poked by (R) (Q).

Danger windows

(R) (Q) poke combined with (E) shield creates strong ADC pressure; avoid extended trades then.
Empowered (W) root threatens long-duration lockdown if you or ADC overcommit near tether.
Karma's high early lane pressure and poke can force your ADC under turret and deny engage angles.

Early game

Contest level 2 with (W)+(E) combo only if ADC can follow for knockup trades.
Deny Karma brush access to reduce her poke angles and root setup.
Coordinate wave crash with ADC to create roam windows or force Karma to play safe.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W)+(E) engage; use this window to pressure Karma before her root is reliable.
Level 3 full kit adds (Q) heal and poke; leverage brush control to land trades before Karma shields.
Level 6 charm can chain knockups; engage only with confirmed ADC follow-up and river vision control.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and engage cooldowns into ADC access denial and forced recalls.
Roam after wave crash with ADC safe to extend pressure mid and secure river vision.
Use level 6 charm to initiate grouped fights around dragon, enabling knockup chains and objective control.

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