| Levels 4-5 | Leona | Through 4-5 your durability and lockdown dominate her lane. |

You win the early game: Karma is a poke-and-disengage support with no hard escape, so your level-2 E-Q spike catches her out if she steps up to poke. Respect her Inner Flame snare and RW speed boost, but once those are down you can dash in and chain Q for a guaranteed kill window with your ADC.
