How to play Karma in ARAM Mayhem

Karma is a solid, middle-of-the-pack pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier B, #102 of 173 champions, with a 48.8% win rate over 871,420 games.

91% of Karma's damage to champions is magic, so enemy magic resist is what slows it down. It keeps its team alive with 10,546 shielding on teammates in an average game; stay behind your frontline and save it for the fights that matter. It dies only 8.3 times per game on average, fewer than most.

Most Karma players go AP (56% of games), but the Support path, support items that heal and shield allies, is ARAMKit's top-ranked build: Moonstone Renewer, Whispering Circlet and Ardent Censer, with a 54.2% win rate. For boots, Ionian Boots of Lucidity are both the most bought and the top-ranked pair.

The cards that do best on Karma are Windspeaker's Blessing, Wee Woo Wee Woo and Spirit Bomb. Cards built around healing yourself fill most of the top of its list, followed by healing and shielding allies. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Glass Cannon and Prom Queen when you can: they do worst on Karma. A pair to look for: Wee Woo Wee Woo with Spirit Bomb.

Take Flash and Heal (3% of players); Ghost is the common alternative. Max Q (Inner Flame) first, then E, then W. Players who max E first instead win a little more often, so it is worth trying.
