Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
Ight lets start it off with... of course, the Starting Items.
- Long Sword is the best pick for your starting item because yeah it gives AD and makes CSing easier... duhh
- Brawler's Gloves is... well, hear me out. I get lucky sometimes and I feel like testing RNGesus so I go for Level 1 trades with opposing laners and its kinda effective, they get forced to recall while I deny their minions and stuff like that lol. Buying Vampiric Scepter on First Recall makes early game way easier (FOR ME ATLEAST)
Moving on to your First Recall
- Vampiric Scepter gives you.. yeah sustain in lane and also makes your trades a bit better (I actually have no idea what I'm spitting out here)
- Recurve Bow is a nice alternative to Vampiric Scepter incase you took Hunter Vampirism , it'll give you a decent spike of power
- Dagger incase you're forced to do an early Recall or just falling behind. We'll cover up how to get back in game below
- Cloak of Agility umm yes well, if you feel like landing more crits (no idea why I included this here but you might need it)
- Executioner's Calling if you're dealing with healing supports like Soraka , Sona , Nami etc.
The Boots
- Gluttonous Greaves is a nice boots choice for me I like doing my support's job of healing me
- Boots of Swiftness is good if you're into kiting
- Ionian Boots of Lucidity is a decent boots choice if you're going AP
The other 2 pairs boots are situational and don't need any explaining
Whew those stuff above are messy asf, let's move on to Your Core Items!!! (which is way more unorganized)
- Blade of the Ruined King yep, you definitely need this. This bad boy gives you nice amounts of stats and the hybrid damage that you need. I mean, what more can I say, this stuff is the all-in-one package
- Solari Chargeblade don't you just feel good hitting Critical Strikes and dealing AP damage most of the time, well I do. It makes your hybrid DPS way stronger, totally a must.
- Infinity Edge when in need to rush [kai'sa :1] upgrade, it also gives lots of damage which Kai'sa needs
- Edge of Night when in need of a spell shield, it provides both offense and defense with a chunky amount of HP
- Phantom Dancer when in need of a lifeline, this item is a great choice because it gives both the crits and the AS that you need, also good with Killer Instinct
- Lich Bane if you need immediate Void Seeker upgrade
- Maw of Malmortius is a nice alternative for Phantom Dancer , incase you're against AP champions. It also gives the best lifeline buff in my opinion. But this is a situational item I don't think this belongs here.
- Manamune is also a good choice, but I don't really buy this item so I have lesser experience of its good stuff. But I think Muramana effect is good so I included this here
- Bloodthirster do I really have to explain this? Fine, its lifesteal, crit, AD and the Bloodsworn overheal, gives Kai'sa the steroids she needs
- Nashor's Tooth why???
ENCHAAAANTS
- [stasis enchant] is definitely what you need to outplay anything
- Quicksilver Enchant for a much more offensive outplay
- [locket enchant] to abuse shielding lol you can also use it when dueling against certain champions
- Shadows Enchant is very effective against Akali
- Protobelt Enchant for better chase, or if you're trolling
- Teleport Enchant when you are confident and waaaay ahead :>
We're at the situationals now and the damage curve you need so your damage doesn't get countered by armor. *wink*
- Void Staff if you had Nashor's Tooth then hooray you finally have your [kai'sa:2] upgrade lol
- Mortal Reminder if you need to stop the enemy from healing
- Death's Dance is a great defensive item if you want to last longer in teamfights, the Cauterize bleed gives you time to activate your shields and survive :>
- Guardian Angel if you feel like Death's Dance thingy is too difficult to pull off
- Maw of Malmortius well we've covered this above but yea, its a very nice alternative for Phantom Dancer
- Wit's End if you don't like AD and you prefer AS instead, it's on-hit effects are also very good
- Banshee's Veil well I'm not crazy, you are
Kai'sa Runes
Best Runes for Kai'sa
Conqueror, the Go-To rune page
- Conqueror is the best Keystone choice for Kai'sa , I don't even have to explain this
- Hunter Vampirism pairs well with Conqueror and Kai'sa 's other items
- Bone Plating for early game sustainability
- Mastermind because holy REDACTED man, share your honeyfruit with your support, they also need it
Fleet Footwork (Against heavy counter in bottom lane)
- Fleet Footwork is a great for difficult matchups, it gives the sustain as well as the MS you need to kite/dodge
- Hunter Vampirism is also great with Fleet Footwork and gives you very epic amounts of lane sustain to survive the lane bullying
- you can also take Brutal if you feel like you aren't going to deal damage
- Second Wind if you're gonna have trouble hitting enemies to proc Fleet Footwork
- Bone Plating is still a good choice here
- you can take Sweet Tooth this time but still, share your honeyfruit, you're not the only one struggling in the lane
- Mastermind to catch up and get back into the game if you're falling behind
If you feel like being an assassin
I don't have to explain this

Kai'sa Matchups & Counters
Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
You can Killer Instinct behind her when she uses her Bullet Time
Pros
As you heard, yes her hybrid damage is impressive, from the Blade of the Ruined King and Solari Chargeblade effect to her Second Skin and other AP items, she can deal with most things.
Now yes, you've read me write stuff about shields. Well yes you can have [barrier] , [kai'sa :ult] , Phantom Dancer 's lifeline, [locket enchant] and even [bloothirster]'s overheal to use and abuse. And if you pair that with Mountain Dragon you're gonna be a shield machine.
Conclusion
Kai'sa can deal hybrid damage while also having decent amount of survivability
Synergies
Well we all want to know which supports are good with Kai'sa well I'm gonna drop some supports that I think works really good with Kai'sa based on the matches I have played with them.
Sona - Yep she's the perfect babysitter for Kai'sa 's early game. She can provide poke Hymn Of Valor if enemies get too close to Kai'sa , a bit of healing Aria Of Perseverance if they take damage and MS Song Of Celerity to help chase the enemy. Her Crescendo provides CC and helps Kai'sa stack her Second Skin
Rakan - Well yep he is very good with Kai'sa in my recent matches. His Gleaming Quill is a good poke and also helps Kai'sa survive in lane, his Grand Entrance helps stack Second Skin , his Battle Dance makes him go with Kai'sa if she uses Killer Instinct . Everything just goes well with both of them
Leona - She just has the CC to stack Second Skin for Kai'sa . From her Skill: 1 to her Solar Flare . Everything is just too good
Braum - The most common synergy, I have nothing to say about this I don't really prefer this. But I just have to include this because most Kai'sa players love having a Braum with them ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
