Who Wins
- You win level 2 all-ins with Bard's meeps and stun potential, but lose level 6 when Nautilus gets his ultimate lockdown combo.
- Kai'Sa's evolved abilities and Nautilus R create unavoidable engage scenarios that favor them heavily.
Synergy & Trading
- Abuse your range advantage by auto-attacking when enemies go for CS, then immediately step back before Nautilus can hook.
- Use headshot procs on trapped or netted targets while Bard provides meep empowered autos for burst trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early waves to establish level 2 advantage and maintain slow pushes to keep minions away from your tower.
- Avoid hard shoving after level 6 unless you have vision, as this makes you vulnerable to Nautilus engages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use your net aggressively for damage when Nautilus hook is available, as you'll have no escape from his all-in combo.
- Don't walk up to place traps without Bard nearby, as Kai'Sa can easily punish your positioning.
