K'Sante vs Warwick

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane by managing (Q) stacks and using (W) to deny Warwick's extended trades.
Focus on maintaining a controlled melee lane where terrain displacement with (R) can create winning duels.
This is a control vs early snowball matchup; prevent Warwick from snowballing by denying low-health extended fights.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (Q3) is ready and (W) is available to absorb Warwick's damage and control space.
Punish Warwick after he uses (E) since his damage reduction and fear are down.
Avoid trading without (Q) stacks or (W) as Warwick's sustained healing and suppression can overwhelm you.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) fear and damage reduction are up; avoid all-ins during this window.
Respect the threat of (R) suppression especially after level 6; hold (W) or (R) to counter engage.
After using (R), your durability drops; avoid extended trades or risky engages until key cooldowns return.

Early game

Use (E) shield and dash to absorb Warwick's early burst and avoid fighting while low on health.
Prioritize short trades around stacked (Q) and preserve (W) for key moments to interrupt Warwick's engage.
Avoid extended melee fights before level 6 where Warwick's sustain and fear are strongest.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate Warwick near terrain for a favorable duel or peel for your team.
After your first tank item, front line confidently and look for displacement opportunities with (W) and (R).
Respect Warwick's level 6 (R) suppression; avoid committing without displacement or (Q3) ready.

Win conditions

Use your tank form to absorb Warwick's damage and control space with (Q) and (W).
Only use (R) to isolate Warwick when you have a clear winning duel, especially near terrain.
Deny Warwick's low-health extended trades by forcing short trades and punishing cooldowns to prevent his snowball.
