How to beat Kai'Sa
- Burst her before R (Killer Instinct) — it ports to an ally with a shield
- Passive (Second Skin) — autos stack plasma, 4-5 stacks = true damage pop
- Hard CC champs (Leona, Morgana) shut her down
- Punish her E (Supercharge) windows — she goes invisible + attack speed
How to play as Garen
- Q (Decisive Strike) cleanses slows + grants MS — use to engage or escape
- Lean on Perseverance — back off 8 seconds and you heal massive HP
- Time E (Judgment) on tanks after Black Cleaver shreds their armor
