How to win lane as Braum against Karma · 54.69% win rate over 3,719 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Level 1 favours Karma since Mantra gives her empowered RQ range you can't match. |
| Level 2 | Karma | Level 2 stays Karma as her Mantra-Q poke zones you and your ADC off CS. |
| Level 3 | Karma | Level 3 is Karma's because her shield-poke wins every extended trade pre-items. |
| Levels 4-5 | Karma | Levels 4-5 remain Karma-favoured on raw range and Mantra uptime. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even because Karma gets no ult power spike while your E answers one RQ. |
| First item | Braum | First item is yours once tank stats let you walk poke and stun her on approach. |
| Two+ items | Braum | 2+ items favours you as your unstoppable frontline and E block outvalue her poke late. |
Levels 1-4 belong to Karma: her Mantra is online from level 1 so empowered RQ out-ranges and out-damages your entire early kit, and she zones you off the wave while your Q struggles to connect at her range.
