How to beat Kai'Sa

Common role: ADC

A hyper-scaling marksman who evolves her kit and dives with an invisibility ult.

What makes Kai'Sa dangerous

Kai'Sa stacks passive plasma that bursts a marked target, and she evolves her abilities based on her items — evolved Q shreds, evolved W is a long-range poke, evolved E gives invisibility and huge attack speed. Her ultimate dashes onto a plasma-marked enemy, letting her dive the backline and clean up fights.

How to play against Kai'Sa

• 1Punish her weak early game — Kai'Sa is item- and level-reliant and does little before her evolves. All-in her lane in the first 10-15 minutes.
• 2Her ult dash needs plasma stacks on the target. Don't let her stack plasma on you, and she can't dive you.
• 3She's melee-range on her carry pattern and squishy. Hard CC and burst catch her when she dives, especially before her E invisibility.
• 4Deny her scaling: end the game before she has three evolves. A behind Kai'Sa never comes online.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Weak, scaling-dependent early game.
• ✓Ult dive needs plasma stacks on the target.
• ✓Squishy diver; hard CC and burst punish her.
• ✓Reliant on items to evolve — deny farm.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Kai'Sa's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  ヴォイドスキン

  カイ＝サの通常攻撃はプラズマスタックを付与し、スタック数に応じて与える追加魔法ダメージが増加していく。味方の移動不能効果もプラズマスタックを付与する。さらに、アイテム購入によってアルティメット以外のスキルがアップグレードされる。

  Strong: plasma stacks burst a marked target and enable her ult dash. Weak: don't let her stack plasma on you and she can't dive you.

• Q
  イカシアの雨

  多数のミサイルを乱射する。ミサイルは周囲の敵を追尾する。共生兵器: 「イカシアの雨」がアップグレードされて、ミサイル数が増加する。

• W
  ヴォイドシーカー

  遠距離ミサイルを発射して、命中した敵にプラズマスタックを付与する。共生兵器: 「ヴォイドシーカー」がアップグレードされて、付与するスタック数が増加し、チャンピオンに当たるとクールダウンが短縮されるようになる。

• E
  スーパーチャージ

  一時的に移動速度が増加し、その後攻撃速度が増加する。共生兵器: 「スーパーチャージ」がアップグレードされて、一時的にインビジブル状態を獲得できるようになる。

• R
  キラーヴォイド

  敵チャンピオンの近くまでダッシュする。

  Strong: dashes onto a plasma-marked enemy to dive the backline. Weak: it needs the plasma stacks — hard CC and burst catch her mid-dive.

Itemization

Kai'Sa is a hybrid-damage marksman. Punish her early, bring hard CC and Exhaust for her dives, and deny her farm to delay her evolves. Mixed defenses (armor + MR) blunt her hybrid burst.
