What are some tips for the KSante vs. Garen matchup?

This difficult lane requires you to let him push early and avoid standing in his E (Judgment) at all costs to prevent Armor reduction. When he approaches with Q (Decisive Strike) move speed, zone him with your Q slow, and only look for trades when his E is on cooldown. If he runs Phase Rush, counter with Q3 or W to stun him during the move speed proc, wasting its duration, and always respect his R execute threshold. If you let Garen proxy farm, the matchup is virtually lost due to his ability to escape and outscale.

What are some tips for the KSante vs. Aatrox matchup?

Aatrox is a skill matchup you win by denying his Q sweet spots (especially after the Level 4 damage spike) and aggressively exploiting his E (Umbral Dash) cooldown, since he severely struggles if K'Sante stays on top of him. When trading, react to his predictable E + Q combo by dashing into him with E and punishing him between his Q casts, utilizing W to buffer unavoidable Q casts or prevent his W (Infernal Chains) pull. At Level 6+, use All Out (R) to eliminate his ability to space you, saving W/RW to dodge his Q2/Q3, or charging RW during his Q cast while his E is down for a guaranteed hit. Rush 2x Chain Vest > IBG because the armor directly reduces the damage and the healing he gains from dealing damage.

Garen	Very Hard	254	45%	-214	-2,130	This difficult lane requires you to let him push early and avoid standing in his E (Judgment) at all costs to prevent Armor reduction. When he approaches with Q (Decisive Strike) move speed, zone him with your Q slow, and only look for trades when his E is on cooldown. If he runs Phase Rush, counter with Q3 or W to stun him during the move speed proc, wasting its duration, and always respect his R execute threshold. If you let Garen proxy farm, the matchup is virtually lost due to his ability to escape and outscale.

Aatrox	Hard	226	47%	-15	-341	Aatrox is a skill matchup you win by denying his Q sweet spots (especially after the Level 4 damage spike) and aggressively exploiting his E (Umbral Dash) cooldown, since he severely struggles if K'Sante stays on top of him. When trading, react to his predictable E + Q combo by dashing into him with E and punishing him between his Q casts, utilizing W to buffer unavoidable Q casts or prevent his W (Infernal Chains) pull. At Level 6+, use All Out (R) to eliminate his ability to space you, saving W/RW to dodge his Q2/Q3, or charging RW during his Q cast while his E is down for a guaranteed hit.

Darius	Very Hard	223	50%	-330	-1,113	This difficult lane is won by establishing a strict freeze or keeping the wave near your tower, preventing him from chasing and risking tower aggro due to his Passive bleed. Focus exclusively on short trades to prevent him from achieving 5 stacks, using W to buffer through his E (Apprehend) pull, or charging W into him during a W > Q combo to avoid the outer healing rim of Q. At Level 6+, respect his execute; use W, Q3, or R to stun him before he gets his final Passive stack or if you expect him to ult, as his E armor penetration and R true damage make him a massive threat in extended fights.

Ambessa	Very Hard	211	50%	+17	-675	Ambessa is highly favored until you acquire Armor, demanding you concede the early push and rush 2x Chain Vest components for survivability, avoiding trades until after your first recall. When trading, exploit the decent cast times of her Q1 and W to land CC while she is immobile, or use your E to mitigate her hard-to-react-to Q2 damage, noting that trades should never end evenly due to her R's Omnivamp. At Level 6+, look for all-ins when her key abilities are on cooldown, countering her reflexive R after All Out by sidestepping, using E to dodge, or charging RW backward for a guaranteed max charged hit.

Jax	Easy	211	53%	+336	-112	Jax struggles heavily against early resistances; buy Negatron Cloak + Chain Vest quickly and avoid extended fights against Lethal Tempo/Conqueror builds. The core strategic interaction is countering his E (Counter Strike) stun by holding RW and buffering the channel through the E recast, guaranteeing a max charge hit. If he tries to escape with Q (Leap Strike), cancel the jump with a well-timed Q3, tap W, or All Out, and use E to block his W+Grasp damage. You can also start W level 1 if he tries to zone you from the wave.

Mordekaiser	Even	211	49%	+316	-34	Mordekaiser is one of your easiest matchups due to his extreme immobility; exploit the self-roots during his Q and E casts to initiate trades, and avoid getting hit by isolated Qs. At Level 6+, his R (Realm of Death) is easy to react to (he holds up his mace); you must always cancel it with W or RW. If you miss the cancel, fight near your original position, as his ult target remains the center of his Death Realm. Rush Kaenic Rookern to use the shield to trade aggressively without taking damage, and use IBG to prevent him from escaping.

Gwen	Very Hard	203	49%	-15	-1,400	You must focus on wave management near your tower and never initiate trades while she has Q stacks. Use E sideways to dodge the center of her stacked Q (Snip Snip!) True Damage, and strategically punish her when she uses E (Skip 'n Slash) aggressively by immediately charging W into her. Be careful using Q3, as she can buffer her Q during it and hit you for free. At Level 6+, use All Out to dodge one of her Q or R casts if needed, but your success relies on Kaenic Rookern to mitigate her overall damage until you can stick to her with IBG.
