He will be a champion that is very dependent on the gold he earns and his mobility, very wide thanks to the range of dashes with which it counts Similar to Hecarim, the main focus of his abilities is Q, with which he hits enemies and can even pull them. He will be a champion who will give a lot of importance to his armor and with which you can help your classmates a lot.
The most significant thing about K’sante is that, even building for a tank, he will be able to change his defense stats into damage, something that makes him unique: he can go from being the one to take damage and protect his teammates to the opposite in an instant. In fact, none of the items you buy will directly give you damage and your ‘Q’ and your passive they scale with their defensive stats.
Below, we show you all the information you need to know to get the most out of it.

Order to maximize K’Sante’s abilities
For the laning phase, it is advisable to improve the Q first. It’s likely that by the time you’re done upgrading it, it’s done. Be that as it may, the second thing you have to improve will be E and finally W. Try to play passive for the first few levels, since he is not a champion that does a lot of damage… until he has the last ability and can change his playing style.

K’Sante’s Lore League of Legends
The new champion comes from the Nazumah region, a multicultural city on the edge of the desert and next to an oasis that was created by refugees who fled from Shurima after the battle between Darkin and the Ascended. The city has always had problems with raiders commanded by Xerath, a kind of strange creatures that were used by the defenders of the region to improve the suits and weapons of their soldiers.
Precisely K’Sante uses two weapons, the ntofos, made from the skins of a cobraleón. They weigh 120 kilos each and measure 2 meters, which demonstrates the power of a hero who has spent years and years training for the task of defending his city and becoming the best monster hunter. This is a celebrity in his land, since hunters are like athletes in contemporary culture.
