✄ good✄

I'm a bit dazzled as there are as many opinions as there are responders. Is is worth rushing Q evolve before Kraken Slayer and boots or does Kraken+Berserker give more DPS in the long run than the early evolve?

Most people prefer to rush Q evolve with an early + the AD components of .

that helped me thx

Glad to hear. :)

I usually use GG for rune builds and this one was really similar except for the Triumph, and I think the build with Tri is more sustainable so thanks lol

I really like this guide!

Great guide -- helped me to understand Kai'Sa itemization and ability usage tremendously. Thanks!

great for begginers

this guide helped me a lot when playing Kai'sa, thank u ^^

On the updated guide for season 11, due to the runan changes, q doesn't evolve in the AP build.

Thank you so much for the guide! It has helped me feel more confident on her but I struggle with her utility score. What should I be doing with her to help that? thank you!

has a very low utility score in general because she has no CC in her kit, it's not a number you should be aiming to pump up.

Thank you for replying! What should I focus with her to get an S rank? I get an A- at the highest. My kill participation is high and my KDA seems to be good, but I constantly get low ranks. I also try to ward as best I can.

The most important thing to focus on is CS, the average player averages very low CS/min so if you have good CS/min it's an easy way to get an S if you have an otherwise decent game.

Thank you so much!!

Hey, Vapora. First off, thanks for making great guides over the years, definitely helps a lot.

I was wondering, everyone seems to build Kaisa with the only lifesteal being bloodline and Ravenous hunter, but no lifesteal through items. I'm not an amazing player (peaked high plat in season 8 before becoming a casual player) but I find it quite difficult to hold my own in low elo teamfights without much sustain. Is playing Kaisa like ashe/aphelios instead of like a ranged assassin with dps un-viable?

Most ADCs only get lifesteal from one source. ADCs that rush Bork forgo in favour of , and ADCs that rush crit use and will frequently use over a lifesteal item. Kai'Sa is not unique in this regard, but since her build is more on-hit focused than crit focused she will lifesteal less from her damage than other ADCs would. This is just a downside to playing her.

Kai'Sa can definitely be played like a front-to-back ADC and should be most of the time, but occasionally it will also be optimal for her to dive in and go for kills on the enemy backline. Proper management between the two styles is key to unlocking her potential.

Dear Vapora Dark,

Thank you for your supreme guides on ADCs. Helps me so much to understand this game. I started playing a year ago, mainly support and adc. I'm bronze 2 atm.

So, I played ashe a lot and it was fun. I think Kai'Sa is very interesting an want to main her in S11. So, with that being said, I'm wondering about itemization regarding sustain, too. I'm not good at mechanics, yet, ppl around me die often in bronze, I take a lot of damage in lane fights early, so I mostly get Shieldbow as mythic, Berserker's, then runaans. Most ppl suggest taking Krakenslayer, but I don't understand how to stay alive, then, without porting to base often. Can you please give me a hint if this is viable? Or should I go Kraken/berserker/BorK or bloodthirster?
