Playing as Kai'Sa

Try to catch enemy carries alone to burst them with Icathian Rain.
Work with your teammates to set up your Ultimate and optimize damage with your passive.
Make sure to buy items that will evolve at least 1 or 2 of your spells.

Playing against Kai'Sa

Kai'Sa is very good at picking off isolated enemies. Stick together against her.
Kai'Sa is very vulnerable to getting outranged by mages and long range carries.
Make sure to place wards in your blind spots so you can see Kai'Sa coming.

Lore

Claimed by the Void when she was only a child, Kai'Sa managed to survive through sheer tenacity and strength of will. Her experiences have made her a deadly hunter and, to some, the harbinger of a future they would rather not live to see. Having entered into an uneasy symbiosis with a living Void carapace, the time will soon come when she must decide whether to forgive those mortals who would call her a monster, and defeat the coming darkness together… or simply to forget, as the Void consumes the world that left her behind.
