Who Wins
- You lose level 2 fights due to Caitlyn's range advantage and Bard's burst potential, but win level 6 with your ultimate engage tool.
- Your point-and-click lockdown combined with Kai'Sa's damage creates reliable kill setups.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for hook angles when enemies step up to harass or place wards, then follow with full combo while Kai'Sa follows up.
- Use your passive root on different targets to maximize crowd control duration in extended fights.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Avoid roaming early as Kai'Sa needs protection from Caitlyn's oppressive laning phase.
- Your best roam timings are after level 6 when you can guarantee kills with ultimate, or when Kai'Sa can safely farm alone.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your hook on minions or miss it completely, as this gives the enemy duo 10+ seconds of free aggression.
- Never engage without checking Bard's position, as his portal can save his ADC or turn the fight around.
