How to support a Kai'sa?

Anzila·5/21/2018, 12:44:06 AM·2 votes·3,694 views

I'm a support main, and I'm looking for some help. I'm certainly not all that great at my job, but I'm content to do the best I can, and understand I'm not going to be able to outplay a gold player. I've been seeing a spate of Kai'sas going bot as adc with me, and I'm at a loss as to how I can best enable them, and their strengths and weaknesses I can play to. I understand the basics of her abilities, that she gets a nice damage boost with a little time on target from her passive, but apart from playing Leo to give her that time through E + Q, I'm not sure how else one synergizes with her. Are there any Kais or fellow support players that can give me some tips as to how I can help her, what I need to watch against, what her strengths are I can play to?

If you have the blue essence for it, I'd suggest just trying her out yourself to see how she is at different point of the game and different matchups

This suggests initiators/CC (as you correctly assumed) and poke mages (just because mages are OP now..)

cc heavy champs are good with her because they apply her passive plasma stacks so it shortens the number of autos she herself has to land to proc the 5 stack burst, the plasma also allows her to join you in an engage from what would normally be too far once she gets in range for her ultimate just remember its REALLY short at lvl 6. the other thing they do is create space for her to get damage out since you really want to save your ult on kaisa to reposition and get that juicy shield mid fight. lastly in my experience kaisa can fight front to back just like vayne she can kill whatever you put in front of her as long as she doesnt die doing it. its hard to itemize against her mixed damage and she gets a ton of flexibility on damage.

not a kai player, but any hard cc works decently enough.
