Playing as K'Sante

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Stack your Q on minions

    Stack Ntofo Strikes (Q) on minions: after 2 hits, the next cast becomes a shockwave that stuns and pulls, so save it for the champion.

  2. Charge your W through CC

    Charge Path Maker (W) when they throw CC at you: while charging, you're Unstoppable and take less damage, then your dash knocks back and stuns.

  3. Join an ally with your E

    Cast Footwork (E) toward an ally to protect them or escape: the dash goes much farther, and you both gain a shield.

  4. Send your target through a wall

    Knock your target into a wall with All Out (R): they go through it, you follow, and you hit harder at the cost of some of your health and resistances.

Playing against Zaahen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Get out of his stab's line

    Get out of the line of Dreaded Return (W): the stab damages you, then pulls you toward him for a second hit.

  2. Back off after his first Glaive

    Back off once he has cast The Darkin Glaive (Q): if he recasts the spell, his next auto knocks you into the air.

  3. Avoid the edge of his slice

    Avoid the edge of the Aureate Rush (E) slice: at the tip, you take bonus damage based on your max health.

  4. Plan to kill him twice

    Save spells to finish him a second time: at max Determination stacks, Cultivation of War (passive) can bring him back to life.
