summary

This article presents a translated and abridged version of a video by Akaxiao xin explaining the Kai-Sari role configuration (patch 15.3 compliant).

He thoroughly explains the differences between the three derivative types (Juggernaut, Mentor, and Ramus) with Kai-Sa as the main axis, how to progress from the beginning to the middle of the game, and even the optimal item and power-up selection points, as well as detailed strategies for getting around.

From the basics of how to consistently enter the top 4 to the requirements for completing the configuration to aim for first place, this is a must-see for all players.

The Essence of Kai-Salilor

• The basic theory of the Kai-Sari roll is “a configuration that rerolls a 2-cost champion at level 6.
  →The basic theory of the 2-cost reroll configuration is required.
• It is important to complete two ideal equipment for the main carry by stage 3, to take control of the match in the middle stage, and to create an advantage in terms of strength difference.
• Kai-Sa’s attack power increases each time he defeats an enemy, so a winning streak in the middle of the game is essential.

To fulfill the above conditions, prioritize item-based or economy-based augments that can increase gold in the early stages of the project.

Three derivatives of Kai-Salilor

1. juggernaut type

• Condition: If many Dr. Mundo’s are drawn, aim for this form.
• Pros: good balance of composition and easy to complete.
• Cons: Requires a level 9 + 5 cost unit to be maximally strong, which is a high hurdle.
• Point: Complete Mundo & Kai-Sa★3 early to conserve energy and reach level 9.

2. mentor type

• Condition: Cobbler’s overlap OR if the lyses are secured early.
• Pros: Compared to the Juggernaut type, it is possible to aim for Yasuo Darius ★3 at level 7. In particular, the first place rate increases significantly with the completion of Darius ★3.
• Cons: Gold management is difficult because the units are high-cost and hard to find rises at level 6, which means you have to carry a lot of pieces.
• Point: Yasuo and Udia’s ★3 priority is low. Sale decision should be made depending on the situation.

3. ramus type

• Condition: Establishment if Rams are secured early.
• Pros: no need to aim for level 9 like a juggernaut type, nor is it mandatory to rise like a mentor type.
• Cons: The main tank is expensive with a 3 cost *3 premise and often struggles to beat anyone in the midfield.
• Point: This is an advanced kata that requires a player’s skill in game management.

Key points of standing

• The trick is to not be selective about the units that come in.
  (Recruit a tank that is 2* immediately and build synergy around that unit.)
  
• The bench should be reserved for juggernaut and heavyweight parts, so that the derivatives can be switched at any time.
  
• Always be aware of the number of key units in each configuration when determining which type to transition to
  • Juggernaut type = Dr. Mundo & Seto
  • Mentor type = Kobuko & Darius
  • Rams type = Rams & Darius

The final configuration of the chi=sa was determined by comparing the gathering of these units with the conditions under which the configuration was viable.

Item Selection

• There is no need to necessarily pursue the ideal equipment, the only essential is the Infinity Edge (IE).
  （The characteristics of Kai-Sa, which grows with its own skills and the nature of its reroll structure, make a winning streak in the middle of the game more important than anything else).
  
• Items other than IE can be substituted:
  • Guinsoe ↔ Shawzhen.
  • Stryker Flail ↔ Giant Slayer.
  • Items that aid in combat (Red Buff, Last Whisper) are very good as a midfield winning streak & connection.
• Artifact and radiant items are welcome. They raise the overall composition.
  
• Choosing to equip other units depending on the type is also a good choice (e.g., Darius with Dawn of Cutlass Silbermere / Ramus Cobco with Horizon Focus).

power-up selection

• S: I wouldn’t hesitate to pick it when it comes out (both versatility and strength are overwhelming).
• A: Powerful with certain conditions (e.g., Max Attack = must hold tempo in the middle of the game/”Accuracy Unmatched” cannot make mana-increasing items and requires 3 offensive items).
• B: Ideal for connecting the midfield. Ideal to replace with a higher level one at the end of the game.

Importance of Darius *3

• Darius’ skill is powerful with a 60% increase in damage to the tank.
• The *3 Darius + Hyakki Ippon synergy melts the vanguard, making it easier for Kai-Sa to pass firepower to the rear guard.
• If Darius is about to become a *3, the decision to provide him with carry equipment such as IE, Giant Slayer, and Stelac will also directly affect his chances of winning.

summary

• The essence of Kai-Sari Roll is a “level 6 two-cost reroll”.
• A mid-season winning streak is the foundation of everything.
• Flexibly switching between the three derivative types depending on the situation is the key to stable upper positions.
• It is also important to be willing to look for the best solution for each match, rather than sticking to an ideal form of equipment and power-ups.

impression

Of particular importance in this commentary was the point that the essence of the Kai-Sari roll is to win a series of midfield games.

Each of the three types, Juggernaut, Mentor, and Rams, has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the ability to flexibly switch between them depending on the situation requires good judgment.

In addition, there were many contents directly related to actual battle, such as the viewpoint of “not sticking to equipment in order to accumulate a winning streak in the middle game” and the importance of *3 Darius, which were very helpful in understanding not only the Kai-sa composition but also reroll tactics in general.
