Who to play with Karma — best team synergies

Poison Trail (Q) never touches anyone faster than he is, and his page admits that gap: Transcendent Embrace (R) shoves them back toward the centre, meaning into the poison, and Focused Resolve (W) ties down whoever Mega Adhesive (W) failed to catch.

Infernal Chains (W) drags back anyone who fails to leave the zone in time, and the slowing field the empowered Inner Flame (Q) leaves behind makes sure nobody leaves it. Focused Resolve (W) meanwhile holds the target on the edge of The Darkin Blade (Q).

His stated limit is that mobile champions stay outside Apprehend (E) range: Focused Resolve (W) ties two of them down from a distance, and Transcendent Embrace (R) shoves them toward the centre, into the outer Decimate (Q) blade, the one that heals him.

His page lists two gaps: no area control and nothing to do once he is being kited. The empowered Inner Flame (Q) field and Transcendent Embrace (R) cover the first, and the big Inspire (E) shield carries The Relentless Storm (P) all the way to five stacks.

Unstoppable Force (R) piles them up and then he has nothing left, because that cast is where all of his damage goes: you drop the empowered Inner Flame (Q) field on the pile. Worth it against teams that really group, far less against a spread one.

Amumu needs them standing close together: spread out, Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) and Despair (W) are wasted cooldowns, and his page says so. Transcendent Embrace (R) packs them into the centre a moment earlier, and instantly refills Mantra (P) for you.

Absolute Zero (R) is beaten by walking out of its radius, and meanwhile he stands still for three seconds taking fire: Transcendent Embrace (R) shoves them back to the centre and slows them, and the empowered Inspire (E) keeps him up until it blows.

Moonfall (R) cannot even be cast with nobody nearby, and while it builds, mobile targets simply walk off: Transcendent Embrace (R) pushes them into the zone and slows them, and the empowered Inspire (E) covers her once Pale Cascade (W) is spent.

A target tied down by Focused Resolve (W) cannot dodge Infinite Duress (R) and has no time to knock him out of the air. And Inner Flame (Q) chips it under 35% health, where Blood Hunt (W) multiplies his movement and attack speed.

Before Cataclysm (R) everything he owns is short-ranged or a skillshot, and his page says a misplaced flag leaves him with no engage at all: Focused Resolve (W) holds the target still, so Demacian Standard (E) and Dragon Strike (Q) never fire into nothing.

Demonic Ascension (R) keeps paying for as long as enemies stay around him: Transcendent Embrace (R) shoves them onto him instead of scattering them. And Vision of Empire (W) adds 50% against anything immobilised, which Focused Resolve (W) just handed over.

Pyroclasm (R) only bounces if somebody else is standing next to the target: Transcendent Embrace (R) packs them onto each other. And his page says he owns no dash and no shield: the empowered Inspire (E) is what keeps him standing there.

Soul Shackles (R) only stuns whoever fails to break the tether: Transcendent Embrace (R) pushes them toward her and slows them, so almost nobody does. And Black Shield (E) blocks the hook your own page calls the thing that kills you.

Nasus has no dash and mobile champions hop in and out before Wither (W) ever lands: Focused Resolve (W) ties them down from range and leaves them standing right in front of him, inside the field the empowered Inner Flame (Q) just lit up.

Anyone paying attention just walks out of the Hero's Entrance (R) zone, telegraphed two and a half seconds before impact: the empowered Inner Flame (Q) field slows that exit and Transcendent Embrace (R) puts them back in the middle as he lands.

Through the three seconds of Bullet Time (R) she cannot move and they can: Transcendent Embrace (R) drives them back toward the middle of the cone and slows them, and the empowered Inner Flame (Q) field pins them under the volleys to the last one.

Deadly Flourish (W) only roots someone an ally has just damaged, and without that condition it is a poke shot and nothing more: Inner Flame (Q) hands him the condition from extreme range, with neither of you stepping toward their team.

Yunara owns no shield and folds to the first dive: the empowered Inspire (E) is the defensive cooldown her kit simply does not have, and Focused Resolve (W) stops the diver halfway, before he reaches the range where she dies.

Essence Flux (W) only pays if the follow-up hit lands, and on a target tied down by Focused Resolve (W) it always does. There is no hard crowd control in his kit: with Arcane Shift (E) on cooldown, his page says he has no answer to a dive.

Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) gets sidestepped, but not on a target Focused Resolve (W) is already holding. And every Frost Shot (P) hit slows, so the tether that is about to snap almost always survives all the way to the root.
