How to win lane as Karma against Camille · 36.84% win rate over 19 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Mantra is available from level 1, so you open with an RQ Soulflare zone-and-slow before she has any E to dodge it — your single uncontested poke window. |
| Level 2 | Camille | She unlocks E at 2 and wall-dashes your range gap into a second-cast stun, so your Inner Flame poke no longer keeps her off you. |
| Level 3 | Camille | Her true-damage W cone heals her and her empowered-Q autos out-trade your RQ burst once she can hookshot on top of you, and you have no hard disengage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Camille | At her level-2-to-6 trading peak she dictates every all-in with E + W; your Inspire shield gets shredded by her true damage the moment it pops. |
| Level 6 | Camille | Hextech Ultimatum cages you into the 1v1 her duelist kit always wins, and your Mantra only re-empowers a basic ability — it is no answer to her R. |
| First item | Camille | Her first Sheen/Eclipse spike sharpens her burst far past your single AP item, so even a clean RQ can't win the duel here. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | She out-scales as a duelist while you have no late spike, but your roam tempo and RE/RW enchanting keep it a coinflip if your team is ahead — neither side truly owns this window. |
Level 1 is your only free window: Mantra is up immediately, so open with RQ Soulflare for the delayed damage zone and slow before Camille has E to wall-dash out of it. The second she hits 2 and unlocks E, the lane flips — she closes your range with the hookshot and lands the second-cast knock-up stun, so stop throwing greedy Inner Flames you have to step up for. Last-hit at max Q range, hold W tether to root-punish a whiffed hookshot, and never burn Inspire on poke — it is the only button that lives through her engage. Remember Gathering Fire only refunds Mantra when you actually land hits on her, and she rarely lets you.
