Imperial Mandate Karma Build

1. This build is all about Imperial Mandate and slowing your enemies.
2. You support your team through disrupting fights, slowing enemies, providing healing/buffs, and soaking damage.

1. Depending on the enemy team, you can max Q first for more poke and damage.

1. You rush Imperial Mandate as your only mandatory item.
2. Your slows trigger Font of Life AND Imperial Mandate, healing and buffing your allies.
3. Remember that you need to keep close to your allies to trigger Guardian.

How Imperial Mandate works

1. Imperial Mandate requires your TEAM to proc it for damage. Try coordinating it with your allies - mark targets when they're about to get poked or when your team goes in.

Buffing your team

1. Font of Life heal triggers various support items like Ardent Censer, Staff of Flowing Water or even Moonstone Renewer!
2. If your team needs sustain, you can even get Diadem of Songs.
3. If your team has auto attackers, get Ardent Censer. Your Font of Life will buff them constantly.
4. Bandlepipes is excellent - gives MS and buffs allies' attack speed when you CC/slow enemies.
5. Staff of Flowing Water is good item if you have lots of AP scaling champions on the team.

Adaptation

1. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR items like Kaenic Rookern or Spirit Visage.
2. Enemy team heavy on AD? Buy Armor items like Thornmail or Randuin's Omen.
3. Your team lacks damage? You can buy damage items - Liandry's Torment or Blackfire Torch work well.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Don't be too conservative with Mantra. Gathering Fire is strongest in teamfights, making it easy to recharge Mantra multiple times.
