Read from Karma's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Senna.
This is Karma's own plan; across 16,288 pooled games the lane is leaning Senna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Level 1 your Q poke out-trades fragile Senna's long-cooldown line. |
| Level 2 | Karma | At 2 your Q plus E burst bullies her before she stacks. |
| Level 3 | Karma | Level 3 your range keeps zoning her off soul farm. |
| Levels 4-5 | Karma | Through 4-5 your Mantra poke keeps the lane control yours. |
| Level 6 | Karma | Your level 6 poke pressures her while her R stays a map tool. |
| First item | Karma | First item your Q spike still out-damages her in lane. |
| Two+ items | Senna | With two items Senna's stacked souls, range and W root out-scale your kit. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Senna is fragile and her Q (Piercing Darkness) is a long-cooldown, dodgeable line, so bully her with Q (Inner Flame) plus Gathering-Fire autos and deny her the soul stacks she needs — every CS and kill you starve slows her scaling. She is fragile and her poke is long-cooldown and dodgeable, so trade freely while that window lasts. Take the chip while the window lasts, because it also funds your next Mantra. Shove so the minions die at her tower and the souls dry up, and absorb her chip instead of answering it.
