you forgot an important fact. teammates can give stacks with hard cc. so if a leona uses her ult, kai'sa can jump on them with the ult. many forget about this mechanic, should be one of the tips.
Next time you guys come up with a guide video please try to bring some useful tips and tricks about the champ. That one is basically general basic stuff.
There's no innate benefit to overstacking. It's not like you're getting anymore stacks in the end. At least using W on someone with 3 stacks (or W+aa at 2 stacks) has the burst surprise, while someone at 4 knows they're about to be chunked.
Big tip imo - Since you can't attack during E, always Q > E so you have no downtime on your dps, also means you can dps WHILE chasing :) and as a little bit of info, upgraded Q will last the same amount of time your E takes to charge roughly
Ty for the guide! My experience so far with Kai'sa has been pretty good, but for some reason I still can't manage to win the game (even though MY lane is winning)
Pretty useful video seeing as how I'm not keeping up with league at the moment. Pretty neat looking champ! The music used in the video was pretty dope too, wish I could find it. :/
first of all a little trick with kai'sa is when u go to lane after u help ur jungle or not you shouldnt attack the minions on lane instantly .. i upgrade always my Q first and thats the part of this little trick . when u go to lane after u helped jungle u will see 3 minions on kinda the same low hp so u jusy Q and took 3 of them then just take the other 3 that should be very ez and u took a complete wave the enemy botlane still have to take the minions cuz u took ahead of it with ur Q back then .. try to use that to poke them out so they cant take all of the farm they have to take .. and right there u are a little bit ahead of them . also they are later in being lvl 2 the only thing u have to do is use that .. also with the E ability .. i use it when we are going to fight early like on botlane 2v2 if u use it early to get movement speed to dodge a leona Q or like a morgana Q u go in and play it well .. in the time u kill them or they are on low hp ur E is be reset and u just use it to get the movement speed and kill them ... im only silver 2 but in that elo im kinda a kai'sa pro
I mean something any kai'sa main should know would be that anywhere in the circle around someone you can R too that includes over a wall. making some really nasty play opportunities around baron and dragon pit.
Should I play her with damage attack, crit and attack speed or with ability power?. I played her with the crit build and had 14 kills for a first time kaisa but still I felt her holding back, maybe it's cause I had the wrong runes?.
imo, Kai'sa doesn't need crit. I go on-hit/anti-tank Kai'sa and is still able to 1v1 There is a problem though, your living weapon evolution will be pushed way later in th game because the build is very attack speed heavy and the only damage items you can build are Frozen Mallet and Black Cleaver.
Do you get one of the 3 Stats for example AP while leveling up? I just got one passive activated and could evolve my Q when I was at 99 bonus AD, at lvl up I could upgrade tho, so does it count or was it a random thing I didnt notice?
i really appreciate the effort you guys went to with this... but this is a spotlight. You explained how the abilities work. You kinda explained mechanics you touched on skills, you gave us no tricks. Misleading title, just call it "Kai'sa Ability Breakdown" or sumn
I wouldn't use these runes. Had more success with Precision Press the attack/Triumph/Legend Alacrity/Coup De Grace and Sorcery/Celerity/Gathering Storm.
get gud But seriously you just have to imagine it like a straight line coming from sion, with the axis on your minions. are you in the path of that straight line? then move! keep your distance, and he can't E a minion towards you if you stay out of that path
because they forgot to tell you in the video that teammates can apply plasma with hard cc, but they cant deal the dmg. Kai'sa has to make the 5. hit, but she can ult onto them
ArlexGamer 86 I'm interested in surprising the opponent because if it is in range for your Q then of course it already can see you. But I wonder if you have to wait for your missiles to land and then use your E, since you can't attack while using it the idea would be to attack before using it so you could use your E to quickly dodge a skillshot or whatever.
Yes you can q then immediately go invis with evolved e. And although yes it will give your position away you will still only be vulnerable to skillshots as you're still invisible so aa's or targeted spells cant be used on you.
yeah turbo tricky because what you said is spellbinder active doesn't scale with KS's passive. Try mixing corruption potion with elixir of sorcery and scorch for Teemo v2 experience. (yes, you can evolve that way)
A thing the guy in the video isn't showing at all is that your R has a zone around your target. When you uses your R, you can go wherever you want in this zone. So, if for example you're chasing someone, you can go pass them. If you're trying to escape from a group of ppl, you also can go pass them and escape. This ability can be used to go throught walls, if your target location allows you to. I think just the ultimate has a pretty high skill cap, and overall the champion has an even high skill cap, but this video isn't showing much sadly.
those "tips" were already mentioned in her champion spotlight... anyway.... Why would I pick this champ over Xayah, Tristana, Vayne, Caitlyn or even Jhin? those champs provide more range, utility and burst damage than her...and with that range (500) that doesn't make her much viable to be a hyper carry...consider the other adcs or pseudo adcs tht shares the same attack range as her: Kindred, Kogmaw, Lucian, Sivir and to a lesser extent Teemo...sure they have the same low range but with the things they bring to the plate (Utility, high reliable burst damage, and some CC) they outshine her more in that attack range category... why pick a much worse Vayne when you can pick Vayne herself instead? what is Riot even trying to do with this champ? a jungler? an Ap mid? a bruiser? a ranged assasin?
vayne is garbage :) and she is not that bad. i got an over 70% winratio with her. And her burst is higher then most other camps :) also she has high mobility and is able to get on top of the enemys hypercarries and able to burst them ;) she is good at catching people out of positioning and punishing them. She has extremely high baron dmg aswell.

Echo TheEcho so much this. At 5 stacks people are running away. At 3 they never expect how much damage and auto+W can do
Big tip imo - Since you can't attack during E, always Q > E so you have no downtime on your dps, also means you can dps WHILE chasing :) and as a little bit of info, upgraded Q will last the same amount of time your E takes to charge roughly
Q - auto attack, QE is wasting your escape and doesn't increase your DPS
Your Phreak impression is spot on.
How is this a guide? The champion spotlight has more useful and detailed information than this.
Cause mobalytics is a scam
Randomonium To be fair, they don’t show or elaborate on some tricks. But they do explain some things not included in the spotlight.
Exactly it doesn't talk about runes or items.
Ty for the guide! My experience so far with Kai'sa has been pretty good, but for some reason I still can't manage to win the game (even though MY lane is winning)
A very useful guide by the way.I suggest showing the right build for kai'sa can also help this guide furthermore.
I came for a build, got disappointed
There is no right build. She a adaptive and you build her according to the game/play style you are going for.
I like Rageblade -> Hurricane -> IE -> Zeal Item
or Rageblade -> Hurricane -> Nashor's Tooth -> situational other AP/Hybrid/Lifesteal items.
How about Hurricane third, Wit's End second?
let's be honest who the fuck builds her pure AP
Pretty useful video seeing as how I'm not keeping up with league at the moment. Pretty neat looking champ!
The music used in the video was pretty dope too, wish I could find it. :/
first of all a little trick with kai'sa is when u go to lane after u help ur jungle or not you shouldnt attack the minions on lane instantly .. i upgrade always my Q first and thats the part of this little trick .
when u go to lane after u helped jungle u will see 3 minions on kinda the same low hp so u jusy Q and took 3 of them then just take the other 3 that should be very ez and u took a complete wave the enemy botlane still have to take the minions cuz u took ahead of it with ur Q back then .. try to use that to poke them out so they cant take all of the farm they have to take .. and right there u are a little bit ahead of them . also they are later in being lvl 2
the only thing u have to do is use that .. also with the E ability .. i use it when we are going to fight early like on botlane 2v2 if u use it early to get movement speed to dodge a leona Q or like a morgana Q u go in and play it well .. in the time u kill them or they are on low hp ur E is be reset and u just use it to get the movement speed and kill them ... im only silver 2 but in that elo im kinda a kai'sa pro
What's auto attack cancel on kai sa?
This was not a guide. All of this information is self-evident.

@@mariomega1up906 hahahah
cool video thanks for explanation. i did have a hard time to understand this champ. the video helped a lot so thanks :)
really good video man. sure it will help a lot
I mean something any kai'sa main should know would be that anywhere in the circle around someone you can R too that includes over a wall. making some really nasty play opportunities around baron and dragon pit.
I don't even have her, I just watched it cause there are a lot of Kai'Sa ADCs lately and I main supp.
Should I play her with damage attack, crit and attack speed or with ability power?. I played her with the crit build and had 14 kills for a first time kaisa but still I felt her holding back, maybe it's cause I had the wrong runes?.
check out my stream bro :) i play Kai'sa only with over 70% winrate :) if u want some tipps just ask me :p www.twitch.tv/onidemoni
imo, Kai'sa doesn't need crit.
I go on-hit/anti-tank Kai'sa and is still able to 1v1
There is a problem though, your living weapon evolution will be pushed way later in th game because the build is very attack speed heavy and the only damage items you can build are Frozen Mallet and Black Cleaver.
Is there gonna a video on patch 8.5 champion ranking?
Do you get one of the 3 Stats for example AP while leveling up? I just got one passive activated and could evolve my Q when I was at 99 bonus AD, at lvl up I could upgrade tho, so does it count or was it a random thing I didnt notice?
He said it scales with Base stats, such as attack speed per level or attack damage per level (you dont get AP per level though)
thanks man
Literally earliest I've been.
Edit is so good
So you can't jump without stacks ?
The lvl 6 roam to mid is nuts
Kai'sa jungle is awesome right now
Steve Wiseman i know i recently got a penta with her
i really appreciate the effort you guys went to with this... but this is a spotlight. You explained how the abilities work. You kinda explained mechanics you touched on skills, you gave us no tricks. Misleading title, just call it "Kai'sa Ability Breakdown" or sumn
ey can someone tell me what is the name of the background music
More examples of teamfights and duels could help :)
YOO that screen transition is giving me fucking goosebumps man, do I have trypophobia or something?
smh. You forgot to mention that ally champion cc will apply a stack of Kai'Sas passive plasma.
Dude... "How?" do u toggle Kai'Sa's "Void Mask?" (ON/OFF). If someone knows, please "Comment" at "This" comment. Tnx!!
ctrl + 5
I wouldn't use these runes. Had more success with Precision Press the attack/Triumph/Legend Alacrity/Coup De Grace and Sorcery/Celerity/Gathering Storm.
The cancel on evolve maybe too?
How to counter play sion
get gud
But seriously you just have to imagine it like a straight line coming from sion, with the axis on your minions. are you in the path of that straight line? then move! keep your distance, and he can't E a minion towards you if you stay out of that path
out sustain or ban it
did you use gw2 soundtrack ? :D
Xayah please, ty
i now have her ob mastery 6. But I sometimes get shit games and sometimes I carry
Why can I sometimes ult an enemy champion that has been hit by my teammates and not by me?
WarriorKatHun your teammates can apply plasma with their CC. Your ult allows you to ult anyone with plasma
because they forgot to tell you in the video that teammates can apply plasma with hard cc, but they cant deal the dmg. Kai'sa has to make the 5. hit, but she can ult onto them
Nice editing!
Can we get a rune page setup and item guide for her?
You guys need to include runes and item recommendations to make it a true guide.
Can you use your Q then right away use your E to land missiles while invisible?
Bigode your target would know where the missiles are coming from, so it would be pointless to go invisible if they know your position
ArlexGamer 86
I'm interested in surprising the opponent because if it is in range for your Q then of course it already can see you.

Yes you can q then immediately go invis with evolved e. And although yes it will give your position away you will still only be vulnerable to skillshots as you're still invisible so aa's or targeted spells cant be used on you.
so her ult is like Akali shuriken?
Isn't a half HP shield at rank two a little broken
Alacrity adds to passive
yeah turbo tricky because what you said is spellbinder active doesn't scale with KS's passive.
Try mixing corruption potion with elixir of sorcery and scorch for Teemo v2 experience. (yes, you can evolve that way)
Good guide, except the fact she’s perma banned every game....
Do a guide on cassiopea or syndra
Literally just went over her abilities lol
Can i q while charging my e?
no u cant use anything but sums while using ur e :)
u can check out my kai'sa only stream if u want and ask me if u need any tipps :) www.twitch.tv/onidemoni
8.5 tier list?
A thing the guy in the video isn't showing at all is that your R has a zone around your target. When you uses your R, you can go wherever you want in this zone.

I think just the ultimate has a pretty high skill cap, and overall the champion has an even high skill cap, but this video isn't showing much sadly.
is that Exil or do my ears deceive me?
Lol spellbinder doesnt need the passive its already 100 ap
Black cleaver interaction with her evovled Q
Ahmed Allam that's interesting... rito is going to nerf kai'sa so hard they'll make her unplayable
hmmm why would you play adc that has a weaker laning phase than vayne or twitch i think riot should reward kai sa late game a bit more
Bruh need ng tutorial about how to evolve in android gonna make kaisa my main
Kai'Sa sounds like Caesar (in original not American pronunciation).
I go Kai'sa Top
is dat you exil
those "tips" were already mentioned in her champion spotlight...
anyway....
Why would I pick this champ over Xayah, Tristana, Vayne, Caitlyn or even Jhin? those champs provide more range, utility and burst damage than her...and with that range (500) that doesn't make her much viable to be a hyper carry...consider the other adcs or pseudo adcs tht shares the same attack range as her: Kindred, Kogmaw, Lucian, Sivir and to a lesser extent Teemo...sure they have the same low range but with the things they bring to the plate (Utility, high reliable burst damage, and some CC) they outshine her more in that attack range category...
why pick a much worse Vayne when you can pick Vayne herself instead?
what is Riot even trying to do with this champ? a jungler? an Ap mid? a bruiser? a ranged assasin?
vayne is garbage :) and she is not that bad. i got an over 70% winratio with her. And her burst is higher then most other camps :) also she has high mobility and is able to get on top of the enemys hypercarries and able to burst them ;) she is good at catching people out of positioning and punishing them. She has extremely high baron dmg aswell.
Tbh this champion is too overloaded with outplay mechanics.
It’s basically impossible to kill a good kai Sa player without onclick damage/CC
Well, her Mobility is covered by her E, and the range... well, the W... but that's it.
She's a hypercarry, so just shut her down before she gets items and dumpsters you.
OK
go 8.5 patch video !
Tip #1 play her in the Jungle
no
as I want start playing kaisa watched this and didn't understand shit so guess bad guide
TrypoPhobia alert..
first comment baby
Well, that was useless :^]
is this fucking exil?????
Just don't play this champion if you want to win
Too boring this champion.
