Karam earns a 2.7/5.0 rating because he is a highly situational specialist in a game that increasingly rewards versatility. His primary strength is his ability to instantly detonate poisons, a mechanic that is rare and powerful for speeding up boss kills. This utility keeps him relevant in Clan Boss and Dragon farming for mid-game players. However, he is held back by the fact that his explosion is single-target only, making him vastly inferior to legendary alternatives like Zavia. His low base survivability and the requirement for a specific team setup mean he cannot carry a team on his own. W
