If you’re wondering which champions are the strongest with Kai’Sa, here are the five supports to play alongside her in season 15.
The best supports with Kai’Sa are engage champions that can set her up for her combos, locking down targets with strong crowd control chains.
Enchanter champions are generally avoided due to Kai’Sa’s already weak laning phase – only Lulu is working fine due to her power in the meta.
The best evergreen supports for her are champions like Nautilus, Rell, and Thresh.

If you like playing ADCs and love making sweet outplays, then Kai’Sa is the champion for you. Ever since she was released in League of Legends, she became one of the most popular champions.
Not only because she has a flashy kit, but she also scales quite a lot later in the game, making her a strong hypercarry to 1v9 games. That being said, if you’re looking to extract Kai’Sa’s maximum potential, you have to play her alongside specific supports who can share great synergy with.
For that reason, we have created a list of the five best supports that will work with her. By looking at their key strengths and weaknesses, you will know which duos you should be playing in every single match.
Kai’Sa and Nautlius are a known combination that can be played across any level of play and nearly in every meta.
This is because Nautilus has great lockdown potential with his abilities. Whether it’s his passive or hook on his Q, he can keep the focused target still for long enough for Kai’Sa to burst him down. And if the enemy target is far away, Nautilus can cast the ultimate to knock it up, and have Kai’Sa quickly use her ultimate to get closer.
One of the downsides of this bot lane duo, however, is the subpar trading potential in the laning phase. You will only have the upper hand on short trades so make sure to play around those and not get caught fighting too much. It’s more important for Kai’Sa to farm up and build her items then risking have her fall behind to chase kills.

- The best support that can be played in any meta
- Incredible synergy with Kai’Sa’s kit and combos
- Guarantees engage thanks to his ultimate
If you’re looking for a more balanced option compared to Nautilus, look no further than Thresh. The champion is currently one of the best in the LoL Support Tier List. Just like Nautilus, Thresh has a lot of tools to lock down enemy targets – whether it’s through a hook or a Flash-E combo, he can chain all of his crowd controls for the ADC.
The other great advantage is that he says the lantern (W) to reposition her in case she overcommits with her engages. During the laning phase, you don’t want to look for excessive trading unless the enemy oversteps. Tresh makes the list every time an ADC needs to have another “exit” from a fight, he also makes the Best Supports with Ashe list.
Remember, with Kai’Sa, you only need a few openings to burst down the enemy targets. And thanks to his passive, he becomes a little more useful than Nautilus later on in terms of survivability.

- The best alternative to Nautilus
- Brings more peeling potential thanks to the lantern
- Scales a little better in the game due to his armor-stacking passive
You probably have already started seeing a pattern with the previous choices: hook champions are quite effective with Kai’Sa. Therefore, it’s not surprising to see Blitzcrank appear on this list as yet another strong option. The main difference with the other two is that Blitzcrank’s hooks pull the targets towards himself rather than the other way around: this makes the job for Kai’Sa even easier since she doesn’t have to fully commit her entire combo and she can utilize her ultimate as a defensive tool to reposition herself one more time.
Compared to the other two, however, this bot lane is entirely dependent on the Blitzcrank player’s ability to consistently hit his skillshot — Great proficiency is required. If you’re wondering for alternatives to play aside from Kai’Sa, check out the best ADC champions to play with Blitzcrank.

- Hooks are harder to land but more effective
- One of the most offensive options
- Great to punish squishy immobile targets
While engage champions are usually preferred, there might be times where enchanter supports might be needed to fit the right team composition. In those scenarios, the best choice you can go for currently with Kai’Sa is Lulu, who has been among the best supports in the meta.
Even though she doesn’t have many offensive tools to help Kai’Sa land her combos, she can prevent her from getting shut down at the start of fights thanks to her ultimate and shields. It’s not an ideal combo, but it can work from time to time: make sure you have other engage champions on other roles so that you can still take advantage of Kai’Sa’s all-in potential.

- Brings lots of peeling potential for the ADC
- Weaker laning phase, play for scaling
To round off the list, we have Pyke, another hook champion. There is a major difference with the other champions, however: you’re looking to trade quite heavily with Pyke during the laning phase to snowball your ADC.
Even though Kai’Sa doesn’t have the highest damage output early on, Pyke can make up for that to kill champions. The hook and stun duration gives enough time for Kai’Sa to hit Q and W, proc’ing the 4-hit passive for maximum damage. Kills are even easier to pull off once Pyke gets his own ultimate.
To make this pick work, though, you have to be as aggressive as possible and look for all the small possible windows of opportunity to punish the enemies. Pyke falls off quite heavily later on, which means you’re sacrificing his impact later in the game to snowball Kai’Sa. Be aware of this while you’re playing these two together.
