Kai'Sa Guide

Key Insights
Upon evolving Kai'Sa's basic abilities,
Q
fires 12 missiles instead of 6,
W
applies one more
P
stack and refunds 70% of its cooldown if it hits an enemy champion, and
E
grants invisibility for 0.5 seconds.
W
grants True Sight of the struck enemy.
E
's cooldown is reduced by 0.5 seconds per auto attack.
R
is an extremely fast dash, but can still be interrupted.
Strengths
Has strong 1v1 potential since
Q
will fire all its missiles at one target.
Excels at poking from a safe distance, especially before teamfights. This is especially true when
W
is upgraded.
Functions well as a follow-up diver with
R
with her high damage. Also doubles as an escape tool.
For AD, she synergizes well with
Kraken Slayer
,
The Collector
,
Runaan's Hurricane
,
Guinsoo's Rageblade
,
Phantom Dancer
, and
Bloodthirster
. Can opt for
Galeforce
or
Immortal Shieldbow
when needed.
For AP, she synergizes well with
Luden's Tempest
,
Manamune
,
Nashor's Tooth
,
Shadowflame
, and
Rabadon's Deathcap
.
Weaknesses
Very reliant on gold and levels.
E
prevents her from auto attacking during its cast, which can be harmful before evolving it.
Once
R
is used, Kai'Sa has no way out of a fight.
