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 Sivir

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her blade's return too

    Dodge Boomerang Blade (Q), then its return: it damages on the way out and on the way back, and it costs Sivir a lot of mana.

  2. Pop her shield first

    If you have CC, cast a cheap spell first, or fake a step forward: Spell Shield (E) only blocks one ability, and heals her if it blocks.

  3. Back off when she casts On The Hunt

    Back off when she casts On The Hunt (R): her whole nearby team gains move speed to engage on yours.

  4. Don't let her push alone

    Don't leave her alone on a lane for too long: with Ricochet (W), her autos bounce between minions, and your wave, then your tower, fall fast.
