Track: Karma's W — Focused Resolve (12s cooldown). The root tether — break it with range or line of sight.
Read from LeBlanc's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Karma.
This is LeBlanc's own plan; across 4,132 pooled games the lane is leaning LeBlanc.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | LeBlanc | Level 1 favours Karma — Mantra needs no skill point, so her 950-range Inner Flame outranges your 700 Q |
| Level 2 | LeBlanc | Level 2 stays Karma's: Focused Resolve tethers at 675 on a flat 12s and roots you unless you break it |
| Level 3 | LeBlanc | Level 3 is skill: the root is Focused Resolve (W), a tether — leave its 675 range and it never lands |
| Levels 4-5 | LeBlanc | Levels 4-5 remain LeBlanc-favoured since Karma's damage scaling never catches up to LeBlanc's burst |
| Level 6 | LeBlanc | Level 6 favours LeBlanc as Mimic reset burst is a real kill threat while Karma's ultimate unlock adds no new damage spike |
| First item | LeBlanc | First item favours LeBlanc because Luden's burst punishes Karma's inherently low base damage kit |
| Two+ items | LeBlanc | 2+ items favours LeBlanc as Karma is forced into a pure enabler role rather than contesting the lane |
Levels 1-2 Karma's base Q poke stings but she has no kill pressure, so you can farm through it and look to punish any overextension with your own trades. Track Focused Resolve (W) is a flat 12s at every rank: break the 675 tether and the root never lands, then you have twelve free seconds. The root is Focused Resolve (W), a 675-range tether — leave that range before it completes and it never fires. Mantra Q is a delayed zone you walk out of, so nothing here holds you still.
