Tips & Tricks
- This is the new way to reroll Kai'Sa in Patch 17.2 instead of playing around Fizz duo. This uses the typical Illaoi Lissandra Karma Meepsie shell that is present in many different comps
- With Dark Star Emblem, you do not have the luxury of placing it on a carry like Riven unless you drop Rhaast. Do not recommend dropping Rhaast, so it typically will just go onto a tank as a filler item (ideally place it on your secondary tank as it increases the HP of the mini black holes).
- On Level 7, play 4 Dark Star / Rhaast over Rogue. Level 8 is when you add Gwen or Riven.

Economy Strategy
3-Cost Reroll
- Level to 4 if strong.
- Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
- Level to 6, unless it places you below 30g.
- Stay level 6, unless you can stay above 50g on 7 or you are below 40 HP and can stay above 30g on 7.
- Level to 7, roll until board mostly upgraded. Never go below 10g even if missing tank or carry.
- Build up to 50g, slow roll to 50g until 5-1.
- If below ~25 HP, sometimes you must roll until you hit here. Not ideal.
- Roll until you hit 3-star carry and tank. Can go to 0g. Only greed gold if you are above ~60 HP.
- If you hit, you can level to 8. Otherwise stay 7. Holds true for every round for the rest of the game.

I think it is also worth noting that Ekko’s Patience is a good item on kaisa with IE and Shojin
Legion of Threes should be a condition if dark star is hit
is there a specific reason why not 2x nashors tooth & IE on Kaisa?
blue buff gives a lot of extra stats with darkstar, combined with guardbreaker aswell
yes a bit confused with emblems, do i play at 8 like vayne demacia or just play 4 but with rogues on
How should be my level 7 board with emblem?
5 Dark Star units + Illaoi 2 Meepsie 2 (6 with emblem on Illaoi if no 3rd item, AP scaling ability)
just got mortdogged in this comp. no contsest but hard to get 3 stars even with emblem n econ augm
How does the Level 7 board look like? I feel like I am getting completely obliterated by 1-cost rerollers while I am at 2 stars.
I’ve just checked the stats and I think gold collector is kinda fake on Kai’sa. Also 2 dark star itself is a mini collector.
Crown feels very good on this comp
