This demonstrates that there is only a small strategic relationship between Kai'Sa and Nilah that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Nilah has a much greater difficulty compared to Kai'Sa. That means Kai'Sa players should be cautious when enlisting Nilah teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a much greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Fighting together, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
