Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose trades due to Kai'Sa's superior range and Nautilus hook threat limiting your mobility.
- Post-6 you win all-ins if you can avoid Nautilus R and stack your passive, as your R damage output exceeds Kai'Sa's burst potential.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for short trades using Q poke when Nautilus abilities are down, then immediately W to block Kai'Sa's return damage.
- Extended trades favor you only when Braum can land Q for passive stacks and you have minions to dash through for positioning.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early levels to hit 2 first and establish lane priority before Nautilus gets hook.
- After 6, maintain slow pushes to build minion waves for your E resets during all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use E aggressively without tracking Nautilus hook cooldown, as getting hooked without escape tools is instant death.
- Don't waste W defensively against poke - save it for blocking Kai'Sa's W or Nautilus R in crucial fights.
