Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win trades if you land Q on either enemy, but Tahm Kench's E shield and devour make all-ins difficult to execute.
- Post-6 your R gives strong zone control, but Sivir's R allows easy disengages from your ultimate.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q hooks when Sivir uses Q to waveclear or when Tahm Kench steps forward to proc his passive.
- Follow up with E to flay them back, then W to bring Kai'Sa in for extended trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently since Kai'Sa can farm safely with Q and E.
- Optimal timings are when the wave is pushing toward your tower, after successful recalls, or when mid/jungle skirmishes are developing.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on Sivir's E spellshield - wait for her to use it on other abilities or bait it out with auto attacks first.
- Avoid hooking Tahm Kench when he has full passive stacks as he becomes too tanky to burst down.
