How to Play with Gnar as Kai'Sa in LoL

The Kai'Sa Gnar synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Gnar, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Kai'Sa sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gnar. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Gnar helps Kai'Sa perform not as well in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Kai'Sa is paired with Gnar, she observes a little drop in her full damage dealt. This change could indicate that Gnar does not support by providing cover for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Kai'Sa is played alongside Gnar on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Gnar.

Additionally, when Kai'Sa plays with Gnar on the same team, she often receives a little less damage than when she fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Gnar does a decent job of protecting Kai'Sa in teamfights.

Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Gnar?

There is no one best ally for Kai'Sa that will always be her #1 ally. However, overall, Gnar is a very typical teammate for Kai'Sa. By locking into the same team as Kai'Sa, he decreases their win rate by -0.5% to 46.0%. This proves that there is only a small synergy between Kai'Sa and Gnar that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Gnar has a greater difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means you should be cautious when lining up Gnar comrades to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to fight well with you.

When playing together, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Together, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by grouping Kai'Sa and Gnar together, you may not be giving your other allies very much utility. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that helps cover this hole in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Gnar ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
