Who Wins
- You lose level 2 to their range and R+Q poke combination, but win level 6 when your R gives Kai'Sa survivability and your full kit enables her all-in potential.
- The matchup becomes much more favorable once you can negate their burst with your ultimate and shields.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W to slow priority targets for Kai'Sa's follow-up, then E shield her during trades and save Q for disengage or additional CC.
- Your goal is enabling Kai'Sa's damage rather than leading trades, as your abilities synergize perfectly with her all-in pattern.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Avoid roaming early as Kai'Sa needs your protection against their superior range and poke damage.
- Only consider roams after level 6 when Kai'Sa has R for self-sufficiency, and only if the wave is in a safe position.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use W offensively on full-health enemies as you need it for peeling Caitlyn's range advantage or enabling Kai'Sa's engages.
- Wasting your polymorph on minor trades leaves Kai'Sa vulnerable to their superior laning phase pressure.
