How to play as Karma

Use Inner Flame(Q) pressure when Draven moves to collect a Spinning Axe(Q), but avoid following him into an extended trade after the catch refreshes Blood Rush(W). Players facing the Karma-Draven lane recommend making axe catches uncomfortable without giving Draven a clean run-down.

If Draven gets an early health or kill lead, stop contesting every wave in open space and save Mantra(R)-Inspire(E) to help your ADC survive his next chase; his lane pressure can quickly snowball into more kills.

Draven's Spinning Axe(Q) rewards him for catching its landing, and each catch refreshes Blood Rush(W), so he can turn a predictable axe pickup into a fast chase; Karma's Inspire(E) can shield and speed her ADC out of that follow-up.
