Tips for Playing as Karma with Lux
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 Lux Will Play
If you have trouble landing Prismatic Barrier, remember that it returns to you after it reaches max range. Try positioning yourself to hit your allies with its return trip.
Lux has great zone control abilities. Try to set up Lucent Singularity to prevent an enemy's advance or escape.
Lucent Singularity is a great scouting tool. Try throwing it into brush before walking into it to check for ambushes.
Karma Lux Synergy Stats
How to Play with Lux as Karma in LoL
The Karma Lux synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Lux, 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 large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Lux. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Lux helps Karma perform not as well in competitive League games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Karma is an ally to Lux, she gets a little increase in her full damage dealt. This could demonstrate that Lux helps provide cover for her to deal more damage or that her allyship also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Karma is played with Lux on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Lux. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Lux.
Additionally, when Karma plays with Lux on the same team, she usually receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Lux does a poor job of covering Karma during teamfights.

Is Karma better when played alongside Lux?
There is no top champion pairing for Karma that will no matter what be her best ally. However, overall, Lux is a very typical ally for Karma. By being on the same side as Karma, she lowers their win rate by -0.5% to 47.8%. This demonstrates that there is a weak synergy between Karma and Lux that results in them performing worse together than without each other.
Lux has a lower difficulty than Karma. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Lux allies to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to fight well with you.
Playing alongside, Karma players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. Combined, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Conversely, by aligning Karma and Lux together, you may not be giving your team enough AD. Plan to have other champions on your team that offsets this relative gap in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of your Lux ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
