[2.1a] Kai'sa Guide - [CP] Kai'Sa - MAJOR NERF (Updated Build)

UPDATE: Since v2.1a riot nerf Blade of the Ruined King Attack Damage from 30 to 20 so I decided to update this guide to avoid confusion. The only changes I made here is adding Long Sword in EVOLVE FIRST SKILL IMMEDIATELY.

Kai'Sa is highly dependent on items due to the fact that her Passive Skill [kaisa:passive] allows her to evolve or upgrade her abilities if she meets a certain amount of stat from an item. Knowing what to evolve and what item should be bought first is something that sets apart a PRO-Kai'Sa user to a beginner one. She is very mobile and can deal burst damage in teamfight

Long Sword , B.F. Sword and Vampiric Scepter

Long Sword is a recipe to a lot of items that has Attack Damage, we will later use it to upgrade to Guardian Angel . B.F Sword on the other hand is a recipe to build Infinity Edge but why are we buying this item immediately and not Infinity Edge directly? That is because we wanted to evolve Kai'Sa's First Skill [kaisa:1] as soon as possible which requires 70 Attack Damage. 12 AD + 40 AD + 20 AD ( Long Sword + B.F. Sword + [vampiric scepter]) is enough to evolve First Skill. This will give Kai'Sa a damage spike in early game plus allowing her to clear wave of minions instantly

Gluttonous Greaves

This is the recommended movement item for Kai'Sa. The Physical and Magical Vamp it provides can help Kai'Sa sustain a bit in battle. You deal damage, you heal some

Runaan's Hurricane

This item will not just evolve Kai'Sa's Third Skill [kaisa:3] but it applies on-hit effects too which is ideal to her Passive Skill [kaisa:passive] Plasma Damage. This will make Kai'Sa a teamfight monster if positioned well while being able to put Plasma on 2 to 3 enemies at once.

Infinity Edge

You can now build B.F. Sword to this item. The huge amount of Crit Damage it provides can easily shred squishy targets. This is basically the most common item for marksmen

[stasis enchant] or Quicksilver Enchant

Let's talk about what enchant should Kai'Sa use. When it comes to Enchant item, it's very situational and something you need to adjust after analyzing what is actually happening during early to mid game. 

• If enemies can one shot combo you for example Zed , Evelynn and Fizz to name a few then go for Stasis Enchant
• If enemies are mostly crowd controllers for example Kennen , Annie and Seraphine to name a few then go for Quicksilver Enchant
• If enemies' crowd controls are mostly knock-ups or knock-backs don't use Quicksilver Enchant , it wont work darling, read the description.

Guardian Angel

This provides AD and Armor so it's a win win item for Kai'Sa but aside from that you'll most likely going to build this in late game and you must know that in this phase of game, you are the main target of the enemies, death can happen anytime soon but since this item can resurrect you if you ever die, you can immediately go back in teamfight and finish the battle

Mortal Reminder

This is probably the best and last item you'll build to Kai'Sa. Given the fact that enemies have built items that grant Armors and additional Maximum Health, this item is a perfect counter
