Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Annie?

There is no top companion for Kai'Sa that will 100% of the time be her best ally. However, Annie is a decent ally for Kai'Sa. By being on the same side as Kai'Sa, she increases their win rate by 1.0% to 47.5%. This demonstrates that there is a potentially meaningful bond between Kai'Sa and Annie that allows them to perform stronger together than without each other.

Annie has a lower difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means you don't need to be cautious when lining up Annie comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to do well with you.

Fighting together, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Together, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
