How to win lane as Rell against Karma · 55.99% win rate over 3,056 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Rell | Karma has no hard CC to answer your engage even at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Rell | At 2 your W dismount stun blows up her fragile frame with no escape. |
| Level 3 | Rell | By 3 your lockdown out-trades her poke-and-shield pattern. |
| Levels 4-5 | Rell | Through 4-5 your engage compounds against her lack of disengage. |
| Level 6 | Rell | She gains no real level-6 spike, so your CC lead only grows. |
| First item | Rell | On first item your dismount burst plus E lockdown kills her outright. |
| Two+ items | Rell | Late, your Magnet Storm flank shreds her squishy poke-shield kit. |
You own the early lane — Karma is a squishy enchanter with no hard CC to stop your level-2 W engage, so once you unlock the dismount stun you dictate every trade. Punish her when she walks up to Q a minion by slamming in and chaining E. Ward her roam paths since Karma likes to shove and rotate, but in a straight 2v2 you win the all-in.
