How to Play with Nami as Kai'Sa in LoL

The Kai'Sa Nami synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Nami, 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 very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Nami. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Nami helps Kai'Sa perform not as well in ranked League matches. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Kai'Sa plays on the same team as Nami, she observes a small increase in her complete damage output. This could signal that Nami helps provide cover for her to dish out more damage or that her support also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Kai'Sa is played together with Nami on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Nami.

Additionally, when Kai'Sa plays with Nami on the same side, she usually takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Taking more damage may indicate that Nami does a poor job of covering Kai'Sa during team fights.

Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Nami?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Kai'Sa that will 100% of the time be her best synergy. Yet, overall, Nami is a very typical ally for Kai'Sa. By being on the same team as Kai'Sa, she improves their win rate by 0.2% to 46.7%. This proves that there is a weak bond between Kai'Sa and Nami that allows them to perform better together than without each other.

Nami has a lower difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means Kai'Sa players don't need to be careful when finding Nami comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Working on the same side, Kai'Sa players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by grouping Kai'Sa and Nami together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates a lot of engage potential. Make sure to have other champs on your team that fills this relative disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Nami ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
