This is Karma's own plan; across 23,161 pooled games the lane is leaning Seraphine.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Level 1 your faster Q poke out-tempos Seraphine's slow, costly Q. |
| Level 2 | Karma | At 2 your Q plus E combo wins the trade and dictates the wave. |
| Level 3 | Karma | Level 3 your Mantra poke keeps out-ranging her sustained trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Karma | Through 4-5 your poke pressure keeps the lane control yours. |
| Level 6 | Karma | Your level 6 poke chips her while her R stays a team set-up tool. |
| First item | Karma | First item your Q burst still out-trades her in lane. |
| Two+ items | Seraphine | With two items her AP, double-cast and W sustain out-scale your poke. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: your Q (Inner Flame) plus E (Inspire) combo out-tempos Seraphine's slower, mana-hungry Q (High Note), so poke her every time she steps to CS and force her to burn W (Surround Sound) early just to stay healthy. Your rotation out-tempos her slow cast, so poke on cooldown and hold the exchange at your distance. Keep your carry off her cast line. Her shield covers one piece of the trade, so make her spend it before you commit the empowered follow-up.
