How to Play with Garen as Kai'Sa in LoL

The Kai'Sa Garen synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Garen, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Kai'Sa sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Garen. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Garen helps Kai'Sa perform worse in competitive League matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Kai'Sa plays on the same team as Garen, she observes a small decrease in her complete damage dealt. This change may signal that Garen does not provide protection for her to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Kai'Sa is played with Garen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Garen.

Additionally, when Kai'Sa plays with Garen on the same team, she on average receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Taking more damage may indicate that Garen does a poor job of protecting Kai'Sa in teamfights.

Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Garen?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Kai'Sa that will always be her best ally. However, Garen is a very typical ally for Kai'Sa. By being on the same side as Kai'Sa, he lowers their win rate by -0.8% to 45.7%. This proves that there is not really a strong synergy between Kai'Sa and Garen that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Garen has a lower difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means you don't need to be careful when finding Garen comrades to play with, as they will need a lower level of skill to work well with you.

Working alongside, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by grouping Kai'Sa and Garen together, you probably will not be giving your side a lot of support. Plan to have other champs on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Garen ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
