How to win lane as Naafiri against Karma · 51.19% win rate over 2,061 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Naafiri | Level 1 favours you since Karma can't punish your wave presence without a follow-up. |
| Level 2 | Naafiri | Level 2 is yours as your Packmate trades already out-damage her single shield. |
| Level 3 | Naafiri | Level 3 belongs to you once W-Hound's Pursuit closes through her Q slow. |
| Levels 4-5 | Naafiri | Levels 4-5 stay yours because on-hit stacking beats her shield-and-run enchanter kit. |
| Level 6 | Naafiri | Level 6 favours you as R-Call of the Pack outclasses her non-spike mantra ultimate. |
| First item | Naafiri | At first item your one-rotation burst breaks her shield and kills her. |
| Two+ items | Naafiri | Into 2+ items she can only support from range while your pack reaches her every fight. |
Karma out-ranges you at 1-2 with Q-Inner Flame, so soak poke behind minions and wait for your W spike; her lack of a dash means once you commit she can only shield and run.
