How to win lane as Camille against Karma · 53.7% win rate (1,013 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15

Track: Karma's W — Focused Resolve (12s cooldown). Her root tether — breaks if you LoS / outrange it. Dodge it.
Read from Camille's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Karma.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Karma's Q out-ranges your entire kit at level 1 and she can RQ-root you before E exists — last-hit at range and don't get chunked into a free trade. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Your second Q point plus a point in W lets you bait her E shield and E-Q-recast-W punish her, and your Q recast true damage beats her single Q poke. |
| Level 3 | Camille | You out-trade a pre-RQ-on-cooldown Karma — W's outer-edge max-HP damage and self-heal, plus your passive shield eating her poke, chew through an enchanter who can't sustain it. |
| Levels 4-5 | Camille | Bait her E shield and move-speed, then E-stun in, Q-recast, W-slash — her cooldowns can't cover both your engage and her escape. |
| Level 6 | Karma | Hextech Ultimatum locks her in an arena she cannot leave, so her E-kite and RE shield can't save her from the isolated duel a squishy enchanter loses. |
| First item | Camille | Your Eclipse spike plus boots lets E-Q-W delete a Karma who built shields and utility, not armor — force the all-in here. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | At full items her Mantra'd RE team-shield and RW Defiance heal-root reclaim value the moment the game goes 5v5 and she can peel out of your dive. |
Level 1 belongs to Karma — her Q out-ranges your whole kit and you only have one ability, so eat minimal poke, last-hit at max range, and never walk up into a free RQ root she can land at level 1. From level 2-3 it flips hard: your Q recast bonus true damage and E stun-dash beat her single-target poke. Use your passive Adaptive Defenses shield (your first auto on her absorbs her magic poke), bait her E shield (it grants move speed to kite) before you commit, then E-in, Q-recast for the true-damage second hit, and W for the slow and self-heal. If her E is down, she has no way to escape your dash.

Camille, slightly — a 53.7% win rate edge over 1,013 games; execution can flip it.

Camille takes Conqueror on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Second Wind and Bone Plating) vs Karma.
Start Doran's Shield + Health Potion (vs her poke) and back for Sheen + boots (≈1300g) — Q-reset spike. Build Trinity Force (Sheen → lethal Q resets) first, then Sundered Sky (Spirit Visage if you need MR + heal amp), with Mercury's Treads.
