How to win lane as Karma against Quinn · 73.91% win rate over 23 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Your level-1 RQ Soulflare poke is among the best in the game — chunk Quinn on the first wave before any Harrier mark lets her nimble out of the slow-field. |
| Level 2 | Karma | Inner Flame poke plus Gathering Fire's Mantra refunds out-tempo her early Vault harass — keep tagging her and rebuild RQ faster than she heals. |
| Level 3 | Karma | Full kit online: Q into RQ rotations punish any step-up, and W Focused Resolve roots her even through the Vault dash. |
| Levels 4-5 | Karma | Your bullying peak — weave RQ on her last-hit spots and tax plates behind Inspire's speed while she has no all-in answer. |
| Level 6 | Quinn | Quinn's only real spike beats yours here: Behind Enemy Lines gives her a roam-and-reset 6 while your R is the same Mantra empower you already had — respect the all-in and the roam. |
| First item | Karma | Your first AP item (Lost Chapter into Luden's) resharpens RQ burst and shield value — out-poke her again and snowball the lead. |
| Two+ items | Karma | You still out-poke and out-shield her into two items, so convert now before her roam-and-pick pattern outpaces your single-target damage. |
Open with RQ Soulflare on the wave the instant Mantra is up — the delayed zone and slow chunk Quinn before she has a Harrier mark to nimble out of it, and almost no ranged top survives that level-1 poke. Keep throwing Inner Flame at her last-hit spots; Gathering Fire refunds Mantra cooldown every time you tag her, so you rebuild RQ faster than she can heal the chip. The one thing to respect is her E Vault — if she dashes in to knock you back and blind your autos, save Inspire's shield-and-speed to eat the burst and reposition, don't waste it chasing.
