Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win most trades through hook threat and superior engage range over Braum.
- Post-6 your R provides better pick potential than Braum's kit, but be careful of Samira's W blocking your ultimate.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for hooks when Braum is out of position or when Samira uses E aggressively without escape options.
- Use E to slow enemies after successful hooks, then let Kai'Sa follow up with damage while you tank.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam frequently after establishing lane priority, as your hook threat keeps enemies passive.
- Best roam timings are after successful backs or when Kai'Sa can safely farm alone under tower.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't hook into Braum's E direction as he can block it easily - angle hooks around his shield positioning.
- Never use R on Samira when her W is available unless you can bait it out first with other abilities.
