K'Sante lore:

Defiant and courageous, K'Sante battles colossal beasts and ruthless Ascended to protect his home of Nazumah, a coveted oasis amid the sands of Shurima. But after a falling-out with his former partner, K'Sante realizes that in order to become a warrior worthy of leading his city, he must temper his single-minded drive for success. Only then can he avoid falling prey to his own pride and find the wisdom he needs to defeat the vicious monsters threatening his people.

K'Sante tips:

  • Use Sonic Wave before Dragon's Rage so you can chase the target with Resonating Strike.
  • Take advantage of Flurry by weaving in basic attacks between spell casts - this maximizes damage output and minimizes Energy loss.
  • Self-casting Safeguard and using Iron Will are powerful tools for killing neutral monsters (in the jungle).

Playing Against K'Sante

  • Stay spread out to minimize the impact of Lee Sin's ultimate, Dragon's Rage.
  • Lee Sin has powerful tools to combat physical damage in Iron Will and Cripple but he is still vulnerable to magic damage.
  • Lee Sin relies heavily on following up with his abilities. Use disables to prevent him from chaining together his abilities and attacks.
