Kai'Sa: starting keywords into Evolve

Kai'Sa · from r/LegendsOfRuneterra · 2026-10-14

Equip several distinct keywords, spread them with the champion spell and use Scout for another attack.

Build

Needs 6★Champion level 25

Overview

At six stars, Kai'Sa runs Full Build, Dreams Of Yordles and Galeforce. Cheap keyword-bearing allies and mana discounts are what make her work. This is the six-star keyword-and-Scout package; three-star play is different.

The build

Full Build

Challenger, Tough, and Overwhelm

Galeforce

Scout. Round End: Shuffle me into your deck.

Scout supplies an additional attack opportunity. It shuffles the champion into the deck at Round End. Keep another copy or a draw plan if the attacks will not finish the encounter.

Dreams Of Yordles

Spirit Impact.

How to play

Develop allies with different positive keywords to progress Evolve. This loadout puts several keywords on her before the first attack: inspect which are distinct rather than counting duplicate keywords twice.

Use Second Skin to grant the champion another ally’s useful keywords when that spell becomes available. A Scout attack can supply another attack opportunity, but the relic shuffles the champion into the deck at Round End. Aim to finish in those attacks or keep another copy available for the next round.

Drafting and alternatives

Prioritize cheap allies with distinct positive keywords and discounts that let you develop them early. Evolution rewards that keyword plan; Sharing is Caring can spread useful keywords across the board. A wide Evolve board can win without waiting to deploy Kai'Sa.

Luden's Tempest is a discussed alternative for more attack-Skill damage, while Voidborne Carapace collects keywords from dying units. Banshee's Veil protects against targeted removal. These trade keyword coverage, damage and survival differently; they aren't automatically better than this six-star package.

The full build assumes six stars. Before that upgrade, Second Skin is not automatically generated at the same frequency. Keep its direction clear: it grants allied Kai'Sas Everywhere another ally's keywords. At six stars, targeting an ally with it also gives that targeted ally her keywords this round. Galeforce also shuffles her into the deck at Round End, so a surviving board and another champion copy matter if the Scout attacks fail to finish.

Star-power checkpoint

From Prey To Predator II

Round Start: Grant your strongest ally a random positive keyword.

Wield The Abyss

At six stars this creates Second Skin at Round Start. Targeting an ally with it also gives that ally the champion's keywords this round; this extra direction comes from the six-star power, in addition to the card's normal effect.
