Legends of Runeterrais filled with thousands of different cards players can choose from to create their own unique and one-of-a-kind decks to duel other players with. However, with so much diversity, it can leave players a little lost when deck building.

InLegends of Runeterra, Kai’Sa has gone through quite a few nerfs but she is still a formidable champion that has great synergy with a lot of different regions.
Mono Kai’Sa
This deck is solely based on getting Keywords activated to Evolve Kai’Sa as quickly as possible. During the Mulligan Phase, it’s usually best to attempt to get a Kai’Sa or Voidling in the starting hand. Voidling and Firethi, Reaper of the Sands are great for helping players get keywords they normally wouldn’t have access to. It also helps Evolve other Void monsters, makingeven 1 drop cardslike Voidling, potentially pose a threat in the early to mid stages of the game. Once Kai’Sa becomes evolved, players will want to use Second Skin, to give her more keywords.

Using Second Skin with a card like Blinding Assault and Void Blaster can put players in a position to end the game as quickly as turn 7-8. If players are struggling to push for game, grabbing Lifesteal with Second Skin can buy us a lot of time and is a great counter to burn-based decks. Having access to nearly every great Keyword in the game from Blinding Assault, Void Blaster, Ranger-Knight Deflector, Belvethi Elder, Fireth, Reaper of the Sands, and our trusty Voidling, players have options to stand their ground against every kind of deck type.
The downside of this deck is that if players can’t seem todraw Kai’Sa cardsor if their Kai’Sa gets killed by a Spell card like Vengeance, players will have a hard time closing out the game or stalling for time to find another Kai’Sa. However, new cards such as Heedless Resurrection make Mono Kai’Sa that much stronger, giving players the ability to revive Kai’Sa if she is killed. There’s also an extremely powerful interaction this card has with Champions. Under normal circumstances, players can only summon one copy of a champion. However, when revived, even if there is a Kai’Sa on the field already, players will be able to have 2 or even 3 Kai’Sas which is very powerful.
Kai’Sa & Akshan
The Kai’Sa and Akshan combination has great synergy with Akshan’s level up providing players with things like Champion Revival, Champion stat boosts, and draw power to help players up their odds of drawing Kai’Sa. Akshan is also a great card tohave in the early gamesince he’s one of the cheapest Champions to play, only costing 2 Mana. It also gives players another way to have a nice threat aside from Kai’Sa. AlthoughAkshan cards aren’t a win conditionon his own. He can buy players a lot of time to get the Keywords set up for Kai’Sa and has great synergy with Concerted Strike and Golden Aegis, letting him stack his Landmarks much faster than normal. This deck also has Void Abomination, which is a late-game win condition that can even be more devastating than Kai’Sa herself. Unlike Mono Kai’Sa, this deck has many different options to take on the path to victory. Radiant Guardian is exceptional at stalling and can provide Kai’Sa with multiple keywords simultaneously through the use of Second Skin.
The downside of this deck is that although it has multiple options to win, it makes the deck a bit more inconsistent in finding its win condition. Akshan is a great card, but can be a dead draw in the later stages of the game since he’s very weak compared to most cards in the later stages of the game. Void Abomination can also be a dead draw if playersdraw it in the early stagesof the game or even the starting hand. Sitting at 9 Mana to use, players won’t be able to use that any time soon and can potentially lose before even getting to play it. Kai’Sa will struggle to get her keywords sometimes, especially since Akshan doesn’t provide any additional keywords for her.
