Kai'Sa vs Draven

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Kai'Sa must manage range disadvantage by thinned waves to maximize (Q) isolated damage on Draven.
Draven wins short trades with axe autos; Kai'Sa wins extended trades post-item spike and with support CC.
Control wave size to punish Draven's last hits safely and avoid his axe catch zones.

Trading pattern

Punish Draven's last-hit attempts only if enemy support can't immediately trade or zone.
Use (W) to mark Draven before committing with (Q) and (R) when isolated from minions.
Avoid using (E) forward before (E) slow is spent to prevent getting locked down.

Danger windows

(Q) axe autos combined with (E) slow create lethal short-trade bursts.
Avoid stepping into brush or catch zones without vision or support peel.
Be cautious when (E) is up; it can interrupt your (E) or (R) engage or escape.

Early game

Hold wave near your turret early to reduce (Q) axe catch safety.
Avoid level 2 all-ins; wait for support CC to start plasma stacks before committing.
Use low-health caster minions to land (Q) on Draven when he steps up for CS.

Power spikes

First completed item enables safer all-ins and stronger (Q) burst; look for support CC setup.
Level 6 (R) allows repositioning onto marked targets; commit only if you can finish or escape.
Evolved (E) grants invisibility and mobility; use it defensively if (E) is available.

Win conditions

Convert isolated (W) marks into kills using (R) follow-up after support CC.
Crash waves to force Draven under turret, then punish his axe catch attempts.
Reach item and evolve thresholds to outscale Draven and dominate teamfights with mixed damage.

Tip: For Kai'Sa vs Draven, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast ADC lane check.
