Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Karma versus Sona matchup as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
The magic damage that Karma deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Sona deals primarily magic damage (77.12%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Karma is superior vision control (ranked 9th among supports) (versus 16th for Sona), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.1 versus 2.8) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Karma player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Sona player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
