Learn how to Kai'Sa counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Stay near minions when trading with Kai'Sa — her Q splits damage among targets, dealing only 25% damage to you from missiles beyond the first hit.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Keep trades short against Kai'Sa — her passive deals significant missing health damage at 5 Plasma stacks, so disengage before reaching this threshold.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Use crowd control abilities on Kai'Sa in teamfights — she's vulnerable to CC and relies heavily on mobility to function effectively.
Team Fight Skirmish
Track Plasma stacks (glowing marks) on your champion — at 5 stacks, her passive triggers for 15% missing health damage, so back off before reaching this threshold.
Lane Phase Skirmish Team Fight
Be cautious when recalling with low health — Kai'Sa can use her super long range W to finish you off and potentially follow up with her R if you have Plasma stacks.
Lane Phase
Respect Kai'Sa's power when she evolves her Q — it doubles the missiles fired from 6 to 12, dramatically increasing her damage output in fights.
Lane Phase Skirmish Team Fight
Watch the map when low health — Kai'Sa can join fights from long distances with her R if you have Plasma stacks applied.
Late Game Team Fight
Focus Kai'Sa in teamfights after she uses her R — without this mobility tool, she has limited escape options and is more vulnerable to ganks and dives.
Advanced Team Fight Late Game
Be prepared for Kai'Sa's shield when she uses her R — the shield scales with both AD and AP, making her temporarily harder to kill during her dash.
