Miss Fortune vs Kai'Sa

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on landing (Q) bounce poke through low-health minions to punish Kai'Sa's short range.
Miss Fortune wins short trades and lane pressure by forcing Kai'Sa off CS before her item spikes.
Control wave states that create clean (Q) bounce angles and pair (R) with support CC for dragon fights.

Trading pattern

Hit Kai'Sa during last-hit animations behind low-health minions with (Q) bounce, only if enemy support can't punish.
Use (E) slow to secure safer (Q) angles or lock Kai'Sa for your support or (R) follow-up.
Avoid trades when no minion angle exists for (Q) bounce or enemy support threatens immediate retaliation.

Danger windows

Respect (R) reposition after plasma stacks and support CC, which can punish isolated positioning.
Avoid stepping forward when enemy support controls brush or threat zone, enabling Kai'Sa's short-range all-in.
Be cautious when (R) is on cooldown or enemy dash (E) is available, as Kai'Sa can close gaps quickly.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin minions and create (Q) bounce angles against Kai'Sa's last hits.
Punish Kai'Sa when she steps up for caster minion CS if enemy support cannot immediately trade back.
Keep wave near your side early to reduce Kai'Sa's dash safety and limit her all-in windows.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) lets you turn support CC or terrain control into fight-winning burst; hold for committed enemies.
First completed damage item strengthens your poke and recall pressure; use (Q) to force Kai'Sa off CS before objectives.
Dragon or choke fights amplify your (R) impact; prioritize wave states that enable grouped enemy targets.

Win conditions

Convert (Q) poke leads into forced recalls and crash waves to take turret plates and dragon control.
Use (R) with allied CC or terrain to punish Kai'Sa and her support during grouped fights or objective setups.
Deny Kai'Sa free farm by punishing last hits behind low-health minions and controlling wave resets before item spikes.
