Ksante Top guide

K'Sante top is built around Ntofo Strikes (Q), Path Maker (W), and All Out (R): stack Ntofo Strikes to fire a shockwave that pulls the target in, use Path Maker to charge in with reduced damage before knocking back and stunning, then trigger All Out to knock the target through a wall and dash after them with Dauntless Instinct (passive) marking whoever he hits for bonus damage.

The build

Rune page: Grasp of the Undying, Shield Bash, Second Wind, and Overgrowth (Resolve), with Biscuit Delivery and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Teleport. Skill order opens Q, E, W, then maxes Ntofo Strikes (Q) first with Path Maker (W) second. Starter: Doran's Helm and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Iceborn Gauntlet, Unending Despair, and Jak'Sho, The Protean, with Thornmail, Kaenic Rookern, and Bramble Vest as later options.

Ability mechanics

Ntofo Strikes (Q) damages and slows in a short line and grants a stack on hit; at two stacks it fires a shockwave that pulls enemies in. Path Maker (W) charges up with reduced damage taken, then dashes to knock back and stun. Footwork (E) dashes and shields K'Sante, or dashes to an ally with extended range to shield them both. All Out (R) knocks a target back through any wall in its path, then dashes K'Sante after them into a transformed state with more damage and healing but reduced defenses.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Garen, Vayne, Yone, Darius, Gangplank. Best matchups: Jax, Jayce, Aatrox.
