How to Play with Illaoi as Kai'Sa in LoL

The Kai'Sa Illaoi synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Illaoi, 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 Illaoi. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Illaoi helps Kai'Sa perform not as well in competitive LoL games. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Kai'Sa is an ally to Illaoi, she observes a barely noticable drop in her complete damage dealt. This could indicate that Illaoi does not help cover for her to deal more damage or that her allyship also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Kai'Sa is played alongside Illaoi on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Illaoi. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Illaoi.

Additionally, when Kai'Sa plays with Illaoi on the same team, she usually takes a little more damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could indicate that Illaoi does a poor job of protecting Kai'Sa in team fights.

Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Illaoi?

There is no top ally for Kai'Sa that will always be her ideal synergy. However, Illaoi is a very typical companion for Kai'Sa. By being on the same team as Kai'Sa, she raises their win rate by 0.7% to 47.2%. This demonstrates that there is a weak bond between Kai'Sa and Illaoi that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.

Illaoi has a lower difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means Kai'Sa players don't need to be very careful when arranging Illaoi comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Working together, Kai'Sa players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by grouping Kai'Sa and Illaoi together, you will not be providing your other teammates a lot of crowd control. Make sure to include other champs on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Illaoi ally, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
