Kai’Sa Counters

Every figure on this page, covering which champions beat Kai’Sa and which ones Kai’Sa beats, comes from live ranked ADC matchup data. At the moment, Swain, Karthus and Seraphine give Kai’Sa the most trouble, since her win rate in those pairings falls farther beneath her average than in any others. Swain is the toughest of the group: Kai’Sa has won only 42.5% of 1,028 recorded games against him. On the other side, Kai’Sa has the edge over Mel, Ezreal and Jhin, which are good lanes to press for during champion select.

Each card lists Kai’Sa’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it is based on, so a pairing with tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one with only a few hundred. The Easy, Even and Hard tags are derived from those win rates: under 48% is tagged Hard and over 52% is tagged Easy. They simply help with reading the numbers and are not a separate statistic. The underlying games are ranked matches at Emerald and above in every region, played on patch 16.13.1, and the data refreshes every 48 hours, so the results shift as the meta does. A counter list is only part of the story, so pair it with the current Kai’Sa build for the best items and runes, or open the Kai’Sa champion page for her abilities and complete details.
