How to win lane as Kai'Sa against Kog'Maw · 44.04% win rate over 3,013 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Kai'Sa | Level 1 is yours: the immobile Kog'Maw can't answer your wave control or step-up. |
| Level 2 | Kai'Sa | Level 2 stays yours as he has no tools to stop an early trade. |
| Level 3 | Kai'Sa | Level 3 is a free all-in with your dash onto a champion with zero escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kai'Sa | Levels 4-5 remain yours since his W and slow don't stop your gap-close. |
| Level 6 | Kai'Sa | Level 6 is yours: your R all-in erases a Kog whose only answer is a death-bomb. |
| First item | Kai'Sa | First item keeps your lead as your mobility denies him the free hits he needs. |
| Two+ items | Kai'Sa | By 2+ items you still flank and delete him before his hyper-carry DPS comes online. |
Level 1-2 is yours outright: Kog'Maw is defenseless and immobile, so you control the wave and can step up to trade or all-in whenever his support is out of position.
