K'Sante's ultimate (R) roots his target briefly, then displaces and stuns them — if he catches them against nearby terrain, they're launched airborne and take an extra strike, stunning them even longer, and he can briefly vanish during the displacement before reappearing near its end. Converge on the target the moment the pull lands, since they're isolated from their team and locked down long enough for a follow-up kill.
Team Fight Skirmish
K'Sante's Q briefly slows on hit, but landing it twice charges an empowered version that pulls enemies toward him and stuns them — treat two stacks building up as your cue to commit your own crowd control or an all-in alongside him.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
K'Sante's W channel resists nearly all crowd control — stuns, roots, and silences won't interrupt it, only a knockup or knockback will. If he starts charging W, expect his dash and stun to land even through hard CC, so time your own follow-up as though it's guaranteed to connect.
Advanced Skirmish Team Fight
K'Sante can send his E to a nearby ally instead of himself, granting them a shield and dashing with more range and speed than his self-cast. Stay at short range when threatened so he can reach you with this shield and escape tool.
Basic Skirmish Team Fight
After K'Sante's R connects, he enters All Out, gaining bonus attack speed, armor penetration, and omnivamp along with free-cost abilities — but his base resistances drop sharply and his health is capped well below full. Back him up with shields or peel during this window, since he's dealing much more damage but is actually easier to burst down than he looks.
Team Fight Late Game
K'Sante's abilities mark enemies for a few seconds, and his next basic attack against a marked target consumes the mark for bonus physical damage based on their max health. Land your poke or crowd control first so his follow-up auto-attack cashes in the mark for extra damage.
