Read from Kai'Sa's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Miss Fortune.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even as both trade single abilities and neither can commit yet. |
| Level 2 | Miss Fortune | Miss Fortune takes level 2 because Double Up plus Love Tap poke out-trades your single point. |
| Level 3 | Kai'Sa | Level 3 flips to you once your full Q-W-E kit enables a burst all-in through her cooldowns. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are skill-based with both scaling and no decisive edge in even trades. |
| Level 6 | Miss Fortune | Level 6 favors Miss Fortune because Bullet Time punishes any grouped fight harder than your reposition R. |
| First item | Miss Fortune | First item favors MF since her movespeed-and-Love-Tap kite spikes ahead of your early evolution. |
| Two+ items | Kai'Sa | At 2+ items you win as evolved Q, flanking R, and sustained DPS beat her burst-and-fall pattern. |
Level 1-2 is skill-based; MF wants to Double Up bounce off a minion onto you and Love Tap poke, so break her passive by not auto-trading back-to-back and last-hit from behind the wave until you have your level 3 kit. Break her passive by alternating what you hit, and never stand behind a low minion where the bounce is free. Clear with missiles instead of trading autos. Your first component is the moment this lane changes, so farm through the poke, take what plates you can, and do not spend mana proving a point.
