Read from Senna's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Karma.
This is Senna's own plan; across 16,288 pooled games the lane is leaning Senna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — Q-for-Q pokes with mana costs keeping both honest. |
| Level 2 | Karma | Level 2 favors Karma — early Mantra lets her land Q into empowered RQ burst. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even — trades reset and neither support converts without a gank. |
| Levels 4-5 | Karma | Levels 4-5 favor Karma — her empowered poke and RE peel dictate every trade. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even — neither gains a real ult spike, so mana and position decide it. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item favors Karma — RQ poke and shield-haste out-trade and disengage your all-ins. |
| Two+ items | Senna | Two-plus items favor you — soul range, double-heal Q and global R overtake her single-target utility. |
Level 1 and 3 are skill windows — you trade Q pokes and Karma's mana costs keep her honest, so careful last-hitting and dodging her Q keeps it even. The danger is her level-2 and level-4 empowered spikes, where a landed Q into RQ chunks you far harder than your poke answers back. Her poke reaches past yours before the souls arrive, so hold position and collect instead of trading. Heal your carry through the chip, hold the root for her step-up, and let the range you bank rather than an exchange you cannot win be the thing that turns the lane.
