Saber: Make sure you auto-cancel.
Me: Cancels the actual auto-attack before it goes off 80% of the time virtually nullifying my damage.

Keep the tutorials this length, the detail you go in is necessary to truly understand the champions mechanics. I've learnt so much from your guides, thank you very much! :)

Me: How do I get better on ADC?


xFSN Saber: Autoattack-cancel ALL!

[zachsl]

Subbed. Haven’t watched the video yet but am excited to. Learned to dominate bot lane with cait from your macro guides (even though my hands/micro is bad) and carried myself from iron 2 to silver 2. Was a heck of a ride and I really appreciate your content.

10:59 You can showcase the QSS mechanic by either using dragon knock-back, baron knock-up or blast plant. No need for an Alistar^^

[tobismusicstuff]

Saber, can you tell me why your guides are like 10 times better then anyone elses, how do u do this?

[Walkerrrr]

You've been killin it lately, I wasn't expecting a Kai'Sa video but this is great!

[alexzhang]

This is exactly what I need thanks saber

[albinnordstrom]

one thing regarding w: The dmg increased from stacks is pure stack dmg not actual W dmg. This means that if you can choose between W->AA x3, with higher chance of landing W than doing AA x3 -> W. The actual total dmg is the same, but if you wait with the W it comes in a higher burst so often saving the W for last is better for the surprise dmg.


Extra: When vs rakan in lane, save E because if you can react with it you can ALWAYS run out of his W, provided he does not have his character land behind you, in that case just run forward, but you can always dodge his Non-R with E if you can react to it.

There one more mechanic you forgot to mention regarding Zhonyas.
You can use Q during zhonyas, so Q into Zhonyas is free damage if it's available to do so. that's 2.5 seconds off cooldown for Q because of zhonyas.
You can also Q during evolved E, when you're invisible that's time wasted doing nothing, so adding Q allows invisible E time to be useful

Thank you so much for this, Im trying my best to learn Kai'sa and this really helps since its so recent.

[arnausis]

This was a great guide, 1thing I missed is when kiteing tanks, or anyone you can't oneshot, your E cooldown gets you almost a second faster for every autoattack you land, that and having guinsoo can get you kills where the enemy doesn't expect you to be able to throw E so many times during the trade. I love Kaisa and started playing her after seeing a montage you have on her. Keep up the good work so I can keep learning al this stuff to climb higher. I hope one day I can vs you in ranked.

W does not do most damage at 4 stacks, it does the passive stack damage also for each extra stack,
So if you use un-upgraded W on a fresh target(No stacks) then its 10% + 12.5% AP extra, if its upgraded its 10% + 12.5% + 15% AP + base
so the most damage would be at 3 or 2 Stacks depending on W upgrade,

3 Stacks for un-Upgraded: 17.5% + 20% + Passive proc
2 Stacks for upgraded: 15% + 17.5% + 20% + Passive proc.


Doing W at max stacks would be : 20% + Passive proc + 10% + (12.5% upgraded)

[meowsquared]

This gave me a way different perspective on Kai'sa. I'm broke so my only way to express my thanks is to sub and not skip the ad (which I should note you put at the absolute end of the video like a total Chad). Thanks for this.
