Who Wins
- You win pre-6 2v2s through Q poke and disengage tools that counter Alistar's engage attempts while keeping Nilah at bay.
- Post-6 your advantage continues as R+Q provides massive poke damage, though you must respect increased engage threat from Nilah's ultimate.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q+auto trades on Nilah when she steps forward, immediately shielding Kai'Sa with E if Alistar tries to engage in response.
- Your optimal trading involves R+Q poke when enemies are grouped, followed by W root if they try to all-in through your damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam mid after shoving waves when Kai'Sa is safe, typically around levels 4-5 when your R+Q can secure kills on overextended laners.
- Look for roam timings when enemy bot is low or recalled, as your movement speed from E makes rotations very efficient.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste R+Q on minions when enemies are looking for engage opportunities, as this removes your primary disengage tool.
- Never use W aggressively without flash available, as getting caught by Alistar combo without escape tools will result in certain death.
