Tips for Playing as Karma with Brand
Don't be too conservative with Mantra. Gathering Fire is strongest in teamfights, making it easy to recharge Mantra multiple times.
Gathering Fire rewards aggressive play. Look to land abilities and basic attacks on your opponent to lower Mantra's cooldown and stay on the offensive.
When using Focused Resolve, slow your opponents with Inner Flame or speed yourself up with Inspire if you're having trouble sticking to a target.
Advice to Understand How Brand Will Play
You can use Brand's abilities in a variety of combinations to maximize his damage in different situations.
You can deter enemies from standing near their minions by setting them ablaze, due to Conflagration.
Pyroclasm bounces randomly between enemies, so try to cast it on a small group of enemies if you want to hit the same target multiple times.
Karma Brand Synergy Stats
How to Play with Brand as Karma in LoL
The Karma Brand synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Brand, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Karma sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Brand. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Brand helps Karma perform poorer in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Karma is paired with Brand, she sees a little increase in her full damage output. This change may demonstrate that Brand helps provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Karma is played together with Brand on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Brand. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Brand.
Additionally, when Karma plays with Brand on the same side, she typically receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Receiving more damage could indicate that Brand does a poor job of covering Karma in teamfights.

Is Karma better when played alongside Brand?
There is no one best synergy for Karma that will 100% of the time be her #1 teammate. However, Brand is a very typical ally for Karma. By being on the same team as Karma, he improves their win rate by 0.9% to 49.2%. This demonstrates that there is a weak strategic relationship between Karma and Brand that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.
Brand has a lower difficulty than Karma. That means Karma players don't need to be careful when lining up Brand allies to play with, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.
When playing together, Karma players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Combined, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Conversely, by pairing Karma and Brand together, you will not be giving your side a great deal of anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you have other champs on your team that fills this hole in their potential.
Regardless of the ability of your Brand ally, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
