How to Play with Kai'Sa as Shaco in LoL

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

Overall, Shaco sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kai'Sa. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Kai'Sa helps Shaco perform poorer in competitive League rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Shaco tries to synergize with Kai'Sa, he gets a little decrease in his total damage dealt. This change could indicate that Kai'Sa does not support by providing cover for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Shaco is played alongside Kai'Sa on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Kai'Sa.

Additionally, when Shaco plays with Kai'Sa on the same side, he usually receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage may indicate that Kai'Sa does a decent job of covering Shaco in team fights.

Is Shaco better when played alongside Kai'Sa?

There is no top companion for Shaco that will no matter what be his ideal teammate. However, overall, Kai'Sa is a terrible teammate for Shaco. By locking into the same team as Shaco, she lowers their win rate by -3.7% to 45.7%. This proves that there is an easy to overcome and exploit bond between Shaco and Kai'Sa that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Kai'Sa has a much lower diffuclty than Shaco. That means Shaco players don't need to be very careful when arranging Kai'Sa allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to do well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by bringing Shaco and Kai'Sa together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates a great deal of crowd control. Plan to bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Kai'Sa teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
