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.

How to Play with Olaf as Karma in LoL
The Karma Olaf synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Olaf, 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 Olaf. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Olaf helps Karma perform poorer in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Karma plays on the same team as Olaf, she sees a little drop in her total damage dealt. This could indicate that Olaf does not support by providing cover for her to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Karma is played alongside Olaf on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Olaf. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Olaf.
Additionally, when Karma plays with Olaf on the same side, she often receives less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Olaf does a decent job of protecting Karma during team fights.

Is Karma better when played alongside Olaf?
There is no top companion for Karma that will 100% of the time be her #1 ally. However, Olaf is a superb teammate for Karma. By locking into the same side as Karma, he increases their win rate by 3.4% to 51.7%. This proves that there is an important bond between Karma and Olaf that allows them to perform stronger together than alone.
Olaf has a lower difficulty than Karma. That means you don't need to be very careful when enlisting Olaf teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
Playing cooperatively, Karma players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to soak up damage. Together, these champions will be a great protective duo.
Conversely, by bringing Karma and Olaf together, you may not be granting your other allies a great deal of crowd control. Plan to pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Olaf teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
