How to play it

✓ DO

Answer his W

Catch his W with your own W and dodge it, then keep your distance from his Q.

Fight him isolated

In an isolated 1v1 K'Sante can be outhealed even through Grievous Wounds — that's your kill window.

Don't frontline

He wins most teamfights on durability, so don't frontline as hard — dive the ADC/support/mid backline instead.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never focus K'Sante in a teamfight — he'll lock you out; dive the backline instead.
