Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 in straight 2v2s due to Nautilus's tankiness and Kai'Sa's superior burst once she gets plasma stacks.
- Post-6 your R gives you range advantage and teamfight presence, but you still lose isolated all-ins against their lockdown combo.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q stealth to reposition for W slow angles that force them into bad positions for your ADC's follow-up.
- Focus on short trades with auto-W-E then stealth out before Nautilus can respond with hook combo.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently after level 6 when you have R, especially to help jungle skirmishes where your stealth flanks are most effective.
- Time roams when Miss Fortune can safely farm alone and enemies are pushed up.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't reveal from stealth in Nautilus hook range without a clear escape plan - his passive root plus full combo will kill you.
- Never commit W-E-R in teamfights without knowing where Kai'Sa can R to, as she can easily reposition to avoid your damage.
