| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Veigar | You control level 1 against a weak, short-ranged early Kai'Sa while stacking Q safely. |
| Level 2 | Veigar | At level 2 you keep the edge since she lacks burst to punish you before her kit spikes. |
| Level 3 | Kai'Sa | At level 3 her evolved Q and Icathian Rain poke give her a brief window to chunk you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Veigar | At levels 4-5 you recover the lead as your cage-into-Q combo outpaces her. |
| Level 6 | Veigar | At 6 Primordial Burst plus Event Horizon punishes any dive she commits. |
| First item | Veigar | With a completed item your stacked Q combo one-shots her fragile frame. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | Your uncapped AP burst out-scales Kai'Sa's DPS-reliant kit in teamfights. |
You hold levels 1-2: Kai'Sa is weak and short-ranged early, so you can freely stack Baleful Strike and cage her if she steps up, since she lacks the burst to punish you before her abilities come online.
