I really like ap Kai’Sa, but try next time to build manamune, just one item allows you to upgrade q and have 12 hits from q instead of just 6. Especially that q scales also with ap, thats make her super strong
Hello zwag! It’s been a while since I saw your vids, wanna told you that this year I became a proud father :$ so between work and dippers my time to play lol it’s nearly zero, but when I came home late night always watch a vid of yours, I enjoy them as much as play lol, the other flip of the coin is that when I actually play lol and things that you make seem so easy turns into a 2/12/1 I said #@&$! Zwag :D love your videos man, thanks for all the good content. I apologize for my English, I’m from Argentina and it’s been a while since the last time I wrote something. Have a great day!
As a Kai'Sa main, I can tell you the best build is: Manamune, Ludens, Berserker, Nashors, Deathcap, (defensive item or) void. Triple upgrade, hell burst damage and sustained damage, long range and poke, no mana worries. Try it in urf or and Aram if you get Kai'Sa. Way better to carry und feels good.
For the Q upgrade, you need 100 bonus AD from item AND growth, so you only need like 66 bonus AD from Item level 18. I think one way to rush Q upgrade as AP hybrid Kai'sa is with Doran's blade, Cull and Muramana (you start Cull then Tear then Doran if you can get away with it, Doran then tear then Cull in hard matchup or something like that), and some bonus mana (manaflow band) and you can get it early and keep it as growth AD replaces AD from Cull and Doran. About the Trist 1 shot, you did 1793 magic damage which is barely more than Trist health. The W tool tip lists 900 or so damage only because it's the damage from the ability. You also deal damage from Ludens (100+ 10%AP) and from the 3 plasma stacks, (mostly 37.5% AP damage) and from horizon focus (all damage mentioned increased by 10%).
Yeah. From WoW days: one shot means single ability, globaling killing someone before the global cooldown timer, and everything else wasn't worth mentioning.
You should do jump scare WW on URF. Just went 23/7 on it earlier. Ult and active items are almost always on, so jump scares are ~every 15 seconds. Runes: Predator Sudden Impact Eyeball Relentless Hunter Nimbus Cloak Celerity Items: Chemtank Lich Bane Cosmic Drive Deadman's Force of Nature (Situational predator boots)
Zwag’s craziest one-shot yet!! I don’t know if this would work, but you should try full lethality Kai’sa with Muramana and see if you can get isolated q’s to absolutely one shot.
Zwag, allow me to educate you on the kaisa w that one shot the tristana. The damage in the tool tip is just from the w. At that point in time, it came out to somewhere in the range of 800-900 damage. On top of that, you had luden's and infernal soul, which each apply their own damage. Horizon focus increased the damage she was taking as well (by 10% if I remember) since you hit her with a skill shot from beyond its activation range. Add it all up, and it comes out to something around 1400 damage, which is more than capable of killing a 1200 hp adc with no resistances in one shot
Try nuclear dart teemo anytime my guy, will bump it often. Dark harvest / Manaflow for stacking. Night Harvester / Lich Bane / Horizon Focus for Q + Autoattack deletion or Shroom foot explosion from afar with Horizon. See people's face melt after you spit a maxed Q + poison at their faces.
Hey Zwag. I've always used full upgrade Kai'sa on URF, and it still obliterates in Summoner's. I rush Horizon Focus since it gives me enough AP to upgrade W just by buying its components. I do standard Doran's Ring rush into tear, then build Manamune after Horizon Focus (and yes, you get the upgraded Q from Manamune) I buy attack speed booties and Nashor's for upgrading my E. I can go invisible after I snipe with W, R in, Q to kill, and go invis with E.
Love the channel Zwag. What is the name of the Brinstar song around 5:30? Brings back an incredible feeling of nostalgia from playing the Samus maps in Super Smash Bros. Would love to be able to listen to that on repeat while I study! Thanks to anyone if they can help :)
It's actually worth going an AD item on AP Kaisa, since you get more missiles on Q and they scale with AP as well, so your Q damage goes from 50% AP to I think 90%. On a spell you can't miss that's pretty huge. If you get Manamune you get Q upgrade, so huge damage boost and I think Q applies muramana as well, so WRQ oneshots everything.
if u wanna go hybrid (still AP focused) go manamune first item, then bork, both of those can give you enough AD to upgrade Q, then after than get nashor's tooth, bonus attack speed from nashors + bork is enough to up E, then go lich bane for more burst (after using a skill) and thats enough to give you a W upgrade, then honestly go for any other AP items after. tanks are gonna cry because they don't know what to build against you
The reason why it was doing more than it said was probably because of items, luden's and esp horizon. The W calc doesn't account for horizon so that could be doing all of the residual dmg you didn't see.
The reason why you one-shot the Tristana was likely because of the magic penetration you had from Luden's Mythic passive, Void Staff, Sorcerer Shoes, and Infernal Soul's AP bonus on top of the fact that she had no magic resistance. So you likely did bonus magic damage. Pause at 31:13 and the damage is 1793 magic damage from the direct impact, 203 from the Luden's normal passive, and 25 true damage. Funny enough 2021 damage in total.
You should do an attack speed Kai'Sa with Navori Quickblade and Duskblade of Draktharr. Of course you'll also need attack speed to upgrade Supercharge (E) and more critical strike chance to make Quickblade more effective, but the amount of time she can be invisible in fights is pretty entertaining.
Here's roughly the stats from the one-shot W W damage: 889 (130 base + 131 from AD + 628 from AP) Passive damage: 387 ([10 base + 90 from AP] stack 1 + [15 base + 112 from AP] stack 2 + [25 base + 135 from AP] stack 3) Luden's damage: 190 (100 base + 90 from AP) Infernal Soul damage: 204 (80 base + 121 from AP + 3 from bonus health) Horizon Focus damage: 167 (10% extra damage) Total: 1862 magic + 25 true before resistances Displayed damage: 1793 magic + 25 true With a Void Staff, Sorc Shoes, and a Luden's providing tons of magic penetration, that makes perfect sense against a squishy target like Tristana.
Zwag xerath, if you played her in one for all you can do a very scary dmg as long the other kaisa max the stack of ur passive. Then use ur w if its tank its either delete half of their hp or most of their hp, if its a squishy champ u delete them or they are left with 10% hp
If league of legends ever dies off I’d be screwed when it comes to falling asleep. There nothing like falling asleep to the sound of Zwags soft tone. His watch time and ad rev must A-1
I think you can go Manamune, Luden, Horizon, Rabadon, Nashors And get the 3 upgrades, not sure about the speed but you can go Berserker since you have built in magic pen in Ludens
I think when you are hitting w you're getting her passive proc since it gives 3 stacks on hit. That's why it's doing more than tooltip dmg, and why it's doing more on higher hp targets
Yo wtf, before I clicked the vid I was thinking like you were just gonna shit on them with a good build. But holy shit I wasnt expecting that W dmg, with the cool down LMAO
If you do ap kai sa again do manamune, it evolves your q, makes your autos chunk and applies bonus ad dmg on your w, not to mention giving you lots of mana. Pair it with nashors for attack speed and it’s op
How about trying AP kaisa with Nashor, Berserker boots, Muramana, Luden's, Horizon and situationally Rabadon's or void. That way you can evolve all 3 of your skills with a ton of hybrid damage. It's quite fun
Quick question do you really mean that ap kaisa is as good as ap vex (if you saw ap kaisa would you be more happy then vex in higher Eli) if you’re 100% serious Ima have my friend a vex lover try it when his vex gets banned he might enjoy it
how did fizz level up before you in farming less than you ? and you were lucky to not being ganked from their jgl, 5 minutes without vision I couldnt ^^
That last W not registering when the game ended was so sad. Instant report Nasus for rushing to end when they could have witnessed the glory of a 1000AP Kai'sa with Elder. LIKE WHY ?!
32:52 the reason your w and ult were not going off is because you cant do anything other than q and move while your e is charging Edit: fixing my stupid spelling
Zwag, i think i played against a knockoff version of you earlier today. Played against a Xerath main called Swaggy Spaghetti on EUW. Was alright but died too much to be you, tho he could have had me fooled early on. When i asked if it was you, his entire team yelled NO immediately in all caps, but later they called him Zwag again.
18:15 huh? He don't know there's a fraction of a second window when recalling, that it no longer can be interrupted? You can even die in that moment, and your corpse will still get tp'd to fountain lol
If you ever try AP Kai’Sa again, try Nashor’s first item it’s really strong.
I will keep this in mind to try it myself
reminds me of the meta hybrid kaisa build before the item changes
@@hillwoop9101 is that not viable anymore? ive tried building it again in recent games and it felt weak but im not sure

My new favorite league channel as of late.
Zwag’s craziest one-shot yet!! I don’t know if this would work, but you should try full lethality Kai’sa with Muramana and see if you can get isolated q’s to absolutely one shot.
Evolved isolated Q only does 375 + 150% bonusAD damage, so yeah, you're not going to oneshot anybody with Q. Even the W has a 130% AD ratio
million years into this game, and nasus will be doing nasus things.
Also that tris one shot. too clean.
Zwag, allow me to educate you on the kaisa w that one shot the tristana. The damage in the tool tip is just from the w. At that point in time, it came out to somewhere in the range of 800-900 damage.

Oh, it's finally this time in the year when you play AP Kaisa again
Please another KaiSa video. This was amazing 😅
Zwag was like a deer in headlights whenever tristana showed up lol

Lmao not Zwag forgetting that Manamune gives him Q upgrade when he already did a video about that
which video is it cause i would like to watch that!

the reason the damage is much higher than stated is also applying 3 stacks of the passive, which has it's own ap ratio and ad ratio as well

No :(

The final 0.1 seconds of your recall cannot be interrupted by design. The Triss was just unlucky.
YEAH Kai'sa's back x3
its so sad how she died for bunch of patches :') . forced to play samira for a while

one of my favorite builds to watch good one
18:15
The last 0.5 seconds of recall cast time is not interrupted by damage, only crowd control or displacement.
That trist was a smart player. You almost threw the game twice.
Manamune, zerkers, nashors, ludens is a great ap core. You get the q evo, autos still deal decent damage and almost the same W and passive damage.
Here's roughly the stats from the one-shot W
W damage: 889 (130 base + 131 from AD + 628 from AP)
Passive damage: 387 ([10 base + 90 from AP] stack 1 + [15 base + 112 from AP] stack 2 + [25 base + 135 from AP] stack 3)
Luden's damage: 190 (100 base + 90 from AP)
Infernal Soul damage: 204 (80 base + 121 from AP + 3 from bonus health)
Horizon Focus damage: 167 (10% extra damage)
Total: 1862 magic + 25 true before resistances
Displayed damage: 1793 magic + 25 true
With a Void Staff, Sorc Shoes, and a Luden's providing tons of magic penetration, that makes perfect sense against a squishy target like Tristana.

When he oneshot Trist he was like
"Okay that was straight up oneshot"
and Kai'sa said
"Aha (and smth else)"
lmao the timing

And get the 3 upgrades, not sure about the speed but you can go Berserker since you have built in magic pen in Ludens
With upgraded manamune and the mana from ludens you get the Q upgrade on Kai'sa
Didn’t know that. I’ll try that out.
24:20 I like to think they were all hugging the wall so they don't get sniped down mid
really satisfying damage 😂😂
I think when you are hitting w you're getting her passive proc since it gives 3 stacks on hit. That's why it's doing more than tooltip dmg, and why it's doing more on higher hp targets
I think the tooltip is bugged since it was showing the same numbers for minimum and maximum damage
Yo wtf, before I clicked the vid I was thinking like you were just gonna shit on them with a good build. But holy shit I wasnt expecting that W dmg, with the cool down LMAO

That's not an OP pick, that's an OP player.
Also, manamune, nashors, ludens, and beserk greaves gives all upgrades and is insane burst
Muramana gives upgraded Q without any other AD items, i did that when i played bruiser builds to get early Upgrade Q
