Playstyle Strengths

Karina works well with heroes who can pull enemies together, such as Tigreal and Faramis, since her Ultimate and 2nd Skill also hits anyone near her main target, setting them up to be chain killed by her Ultimate.

Weaknesses

Karina is countered by Tanky heroes with CC abilities, like Akai and Khufra because they can tank her damage, and protect their allies from her.

Top 3 Tips for Playing Karina

  1. Always start in the jungle — Karina farm the jungle, not the lane.
  2. Punish overextended supports and mages — avoid 1v1s against fighters with sustain.
  3. Ward enemy jungle entrances and counter-jungle at level 4 to break the enemy's early tempo.
