Playing as Kai'Sa

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Use Q on an isolated target

    Cast Icathian Rain (Q) on an isolated target: the missiles split between nearby enemies, so a lone target takes them all.

  2. Attack after your ally's CC

    Attack right after your support lands CC: with Second Skin (passive), your allies' immobilizing effects also stack Plasma.

  3. Mark your target before your R

    Before Killer Instinct (R), stack Plasma on your target, from range with Void Seeker (W): the dash needs a marked target and gives you a shield.

  4. Play around your evolves

    Make use of each spell that Second Skin (passive) evolves: Supercharge (E) makes you invisible to get in, and Icathian Rain (Q) fires more missiles at a lone target.

Playing against Orianna

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay out of her ball's line

    Don't stand in the path of her ball, because Command: Attack (Q) damages every enemy it passes through before stopping.

  2. Target her when her ball is far

    If you can engage, target Orianna when her ball is far from her: her spells come from the ball, and she has no dash.

  3. Don't group near her ball

    In teamfights, don't stay grouped with your allies near her ball, because Command: Shockwave (R) pulls every nearby enemy toward it.

  4. Watch the ally carrying her ball

    Back off when her ball is attached to an ally diving your team: Command: Shockwave (R) will then come from them.
