Class: Ranger & Assassin Origin: Void Ability: Kai’Sa dashes past the furthest enemy, gaining a shield and a lot of attack speed for a few seconds. Cost: 5

The next champion to be added to Teamfight Tactics is none other than the daughter of the void, Kai’Sa. She’ll be warping in as a Legendary 5 cost unit and opening quite a few new build possibilities since she is a Void Assassin Ranger! A triple hitter to enable more unique builds. She can be the carry in an end game Ranger & Brawler build, or a safer Assassin while you chase the 9 Assassin dream. Lots of possibilities.

Kai’Sa’s base AD is lower, but she comes equipped with the highest base attack speed in the game. Perfect for stacking a Guinsoo’s or procing that Stattik Shiv as quick as possible in the end game. Her ultimate also allows her to jump around the map quickly and avoid dangerous situations. No longer are rangers locked into the corner!

Kai’Sa comes with an additional change to the Void trait. We’re happy with the true damage as a counter to strong defense, but it’s a little too easy to get it going in the early game with 3 low cost units. Because of this we’re shifting Void to work like Imperial.

(2): One of your Void units does true damage (4): All of your Void units do true damage

This should allow void to not quite be so dominate early, but still be a viable option to scale into late game.

Look forward to Kai’Sa coming in patch 9.19, and give her a try on PBE today! https://imgur.com/a/0PLKaTT

Wait, she already dashes to the furthest enemies because of the Assassin trait and her ult then dashes to the furtherest, meaning she’ll go back to the frontline?

All 3 of those traits are DPS based, she's going to be insane. Can't wait.

Why can't I upvote this? Sad! This champion looks amazing and very cool with the triple trait 5 star.

Will we be getting more units at the 1/2/3/4 cost slots as well?

Why "one unit at random" for the Void? Why not something like "deal half of their damage as true"? I hate the whole random unit... if a carry gets it you stomp, otherwise you're not doing much. The variance is just way too big.

I like how they said that the assassin 9 trait was not alluding to a future assassin, and then they roll out Kai'sa.

Crazy man, what a coincidence.

Not that it's bad per se I just think it's funny.

yes it has been a long time since her latest skin release. It is time for another one

I like this Kaisa

Fisherman Fizz9/11/2019, 8:28:16 PM4 votes

One of my favorite champs!

I'm kind of surprised to see two 5* units back to back though, I hope it doesn't affect the unit pool too badly.

Yesss!! i knew Kaisa was coming to TFT.. dont know how but i had a strong feeling about it! cant wait! 🤩🤩🤩

Frankly, every 5 cost unit should have three classes.

To me, it feeks like they need to be careful or Cho/kaisa will be the next Leona/panth. Other than that she seems well designed. Unfortunately, her AI will make or break her, and a better targeting system for assassin's in general needs to be made.

God this just made my day!!! Ty ty rito!!! 💜⭐️🙌🏼

Don't you find its dangerous to put another champion in the rotation, won't it affect the possibility of showing up other champions now?

The Yetii Rider9/12/2019, 4:51:46 PM1 votes

She looks pretty good. What's her base mana / mana cost?

TheoryanLanister9/12/2019, 12:35:52 AM1 votes

Wasn't enough for Kai'Sa to be broken on the rift, now she must be broken in TFT.

Also, really getting tired of just adding 1 more champ to TFT every couple of patches... it was supposed to be a roster that would change each split.

I am excited for the addition of Kaisa to assassins. Only one problem I want to address here, the tooltip for the best assail trait requires nine assassins, but only eight exist. So does that mean in order to get the nine bonus you have to build item 3142 ? I’m working on this but I have only managed to get eight assassins so far.

Void Assassin was already good. Now it's gonna be insane...

Xantus9/11/2019, 8:57:57 PM1 votes

(okay Rito has nothing to do with my luck but, Jinx is another Example)
