Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win most 2v2s with hook engage and Kai'Sa's follow-up damage against immobile Jhin.
- Post-6 you completely dominate as your R guarantees picks while Kai'Sa R provides additional gap-close and damage.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for hooks when Bard is out of position or roaming, then follow with full combo while Kai'Sa stacks passive.
- Your best all-ins happen when you can hook Jhin through minions or when Bard wastes Q for poke.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently after successful recalls or when Kai'Sa can safely farm alone.
- Time roams when the wave is frozen or pushing toward your side, and prioritize mid lane ganks with your reliable CC chain.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't hook when Bard has Q available and good positioning, as he can interrupt your combo with stuns.
- Avoid using R on targets that can easily escape, instead save it for guaranteed picks on immobile Jhin or isolated Bard.
