How to Play This Matchup
Early Aggression
Karma needs to punish Sona before they scale. Zone them off CS levels 1-5 and look for solo kills before first back. If Sona reaches 2 items even, you're in trouble.
MR Priority
Both deal magic damage. An early Null-Magic Mantle or Mercury's Treads can swing the lane. Hexdrinker is also an option for AD champs.
Exploit Karma's Weakness
Karma's main weakness: Falls off late, no hard CC, squishy. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Karma Win Condition
R+Q poke, R+E team speed, lane bully support
Sona Win Condition
Aura buffs scale, R stun, heal/shield spam late
