How to win lane as Karma against Annie · 47.92% win rate over 48 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Level 1 you clearly win — Annie's short range and unstacked passive mean she can't punish your poke. |
| Level 2 | Karma | Level 2 continues favoring you as she still lacks mana and an armed stun to threaten anything. |
| Level 3 | Karma | Level 3 you're still ahead on pure poke trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | This phase is a genuine skill-check — whoever manages passive stacks and cooldowns better wins the exchange. |
| Level 6 | Annie | At 6 Annie's Tibbers stun-combo overwhelms your kit's burst window. |
| First item | Annie | Level 6 remains hers as the stun-to-kill threat persists through most of the fight. |
| Two+ items | Annie | Late game Annie's point-and-click burst still outclasses your poke-and-peel approach in skirmishes and fights. |
Levels 1-2 you clearly outrange and outpoke Annie, who has no armed stun yet and limited mana to contest extended trades, so shove and deny her farm with Mantra Q.
