Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
Even with the nerf on the AD stat on the Blade of the Ruined King , that item is still a really good choice on Kai'sa as first item. You can evolve in an easier way (considering the stat change) your Supercharge to better position yourself in teamfight, or for example, to prepare an ambush without being seen.
That's why you see just the Recurve Bow instead of full Runaan's Hurricane . You no longer need to close that item to evolve Supercharge .
Considered that, to evolve Icathian Rain before this patch you needed Blade of the Ruined King and B.F. Sword , now you need to close Infinity Edge in order to enhance your Icathian Rain .
You can build Kai'sa in two ways: full AD or hybrid. Personally I suggest the full AD one most of the times because it really gives lot of damage on Icathian Rain and autoattacks, instead, you can play the hybrid version with Rabadon's Deathcap to evolve all of your skills. You can ask "why no Nashor's Tooth ?" Because that item doesn't give enough AP to Kai'sa to evolve Void Seeker , and instead, putting them both would be both a waste and a risk. Better put a Guardian Angel instead of Nashor's Tooth .
As situational item I personally suggest Mortal Reminder because it further enhances Kai'sa 's identity as an anti-tank marksman.
Kai'sa Runes
Best Runes for Kai'sa
These are the runes I personally use on Kai'sa. Conqueror right now is the best choice as main rune on her, missing Hail of Blades from League of Legends. Triumph can give you extra gold as well bonus damage to low health targets and healing you back when you kill them. Bone Plating is a must have because it helps a lot on short trades, Sweet Tooth gives enhanced healing and bonus gold when you or your ally take the honeyfruit.

Combos
Learn how to maximize the champions potential
This is one of the earliest combo you can do with Kai'sa , around level 2. You can go directly on the opponent with Icathian Rain , hit enemies 3 times and successively hit with Void Seeker to instantly active Second Skin and inflict massive damage on enemy target.
This is a good combo to close a gap with an opponent. Use Void Seeker to poke someone to activate Second Skin and have the possibility to use Killer Instinct on that target. Be sure to use Killer Instinct when enemy CCs abilities are on cooldown, if you don't want to get stuck and killed in enemy backline. When you ult, you can do massive damage or directly terminate your target with Icathian Rain and autoattacks.
