Early game (levels 1–5)

K'Sante owns levels 1-2: his Ntofo Strikes (Q) out-ranges your Mortal Steel (Q) and the third-hit dash into a wall stuns you for a full combo. Don't contest the first wave trade — CS with your Q on cooldown and never stand near terrain where he can pull-stun you. His W charge is your cue to sidestep, not to walk forward.
