Who Wins
- They win pre-6 through superior range and consistent poke damage that you cannot effectively counter with your shorter range abilities.
- Post-6 the matchup becomes more even as your R can save Kai'Sa from burst, but they still maintain lane control through range advantage.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W on Kai'Sa when she wants to trade, then E-Q for poke damage while she's speed boosted and protected.
- Focus on shielding Brand's W damage and polymorphing Jhin when he goes for fourth shot or during his reload window.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when the wave is pushed and Kai'Sa can safely farm under tower, typically after successful recalls or when enemies back.
- Look for mid lane roams around levels 4-6 when your W-R combo can secure kills.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W defensively too early in trades as you'll need it for Kai'Sa's engage potential or to escape Brand's follow-up damage.
- Avoid using E-Q for poke when Brand has W up, as he'll out-trade you heavily.
