| Stage | Favoured | Why |

| Level 3 | Darius | By level 3 E Apprehend catches her through her tether for a full trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Darius | Levels 4-5 your bleed stacks shred her thin bar while her shield only stalls. |
| Level 6 | Darius | Level 6 your R execute has no answer since Karma's ult grants no burst. |
| First item | Darius | At first item your spike plus stacks kills her inside one all-in. |
| Two+ items | Darius | Late, a squishy no-escape Karma is deleted by your item-backed chain. |
You win from level 1 — Karma has no shove-and-trade tools that beat your Decimate, and her only defence is a Flash, so press her off the wave and deny CS.
