| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ezreal | Kai'Sa's short range and weak level 1 let you out-poke her freely. |
| Level 2 | Ezreal | Level 2 stays yours; she can't answer your Q at range. |
| Level 3 | Ezreal | Level 3 you keep poking her low with no trade-back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ezreal | Levels 4-5 she still lacks the evolves to punish your range. |
| Level 6 | Ezreal | At 6 your R and E-Q out-range her not-yet-online all-in. |
| First item | Kai'Sa | Her first item plus evolves spike her R dive above you. |
| Two+ items | Ezreal | By 2+ items you reclaim range control, poking her before she dives. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Kai'Sa's short base range and weak early damage let you last-hit freely and land Q pokes she can't answer without walking into your minions.
