Kadita Guide

Kadita is a mage with high mobility and resistance to crowd control, but that won’t stop her from being burst down quickly by enemy assassins or fed marksmen. Kadita can use her mobility in the early game to poke and harass enemies while staying relatively safe doing so. 

Once she’s acquired a few items, Kadita can begin engaging on enemies, pushing waves and roaming to ambush enemies and help her allies. With her fast mobility and burst damage, she can quickly pick up kills, especially on overextended or squishy targets.

When team fights break out, Kadita can aid her team by charging in with her allies and bursting enemies down with AoE damage and crowd control.

Items

Kadita can be an undying monster when played correctly, and building her defensively early and offensively late can help her stay safe and allow her to scale in time for team fights where she can really shine.

An early Clock of Destiny will give Kadita some offensive as well as defensive boosts that grow as the match goes on. Kadita will enjoy the extra health when she goes in on enemies, and the extra magic power is a no-brainer.

Demon Shoes help Kadita with mana regeneration issues that she’ll run into while sustaining herself in lane.

Lightning Truncheon gives her a nice boost of magic power as well as more health, with a passive that lets her chain damage even more easily. This will make Kadita’s engages even more powerful and help her proc Magic Worship. Concentrated Energy is another item that will make Kadita even more of an undying menace for the enemy team.

For the late game, items like Divine Glaive and Holy Crystal will help Kadita spike in power and stay level with her opponents. Divine Glaive greatly increases her magic penetration, allowing her to pierce through any resistances the enemy team may have bought as the match went on. Holy Crystal boosts her magic power on a percentage basis, perfect alongside that Clock of Destiny she grabbed early in the match.

Abilities

Kadita’s skills equip her to poke and harass enemies, evade their damage, and quickly crowd control enemies when played properly, making Kadita a nuisance to deal with both in lane and in team fights.

Ocean Oddity gives Kadita both poke and safety thanks to her ability to hop off the wave. This can be used early in the match to send waves out to harass enemies, immediately jumping off them to avoid compromising your positioning. The move can also be used to reposition or escape ganks.

Ambush enemies by using Breath of the Ocean to airborne them by surprise, then gap close with Ocean Oddity and use your ultimate. When dueling, you can use Ocean Oddity to advance on your enemy, popping Breath of the Ocean once you arrive at them to airborne them into your ultimate.

In team fights, use Ocean Oddity to get into the fight with your front line tank/fighter, and then pop your ultimate to deal massive damage to the enemy team. Follow this up with Breath of the Ocean last so that it hits the most enemies possible and airbornes them, allowing your more ranged allies to follow up safely.

When taking Execute with Kadita, you can use Ocean Oddity to rush in, execute a low health target, and escape safely. Petrify is another spell that works well on her, allowing her to safely dash in and Petrify a group of enemies in a team fight, adding another layer of crowd control to her kit.

Emblems

Kadita benefits most from the Mage emblem page, with upgrades in Agility and Observation increasing her movement speed so that she can keep up with enemies she’s pursuing and giving her increased magic penetration to weaken their defenses.

Magic Worship allows her to increase her burst damage significantly when executing combos properly. If you’re not positive you can deal her burst damage consistently, Mystery Shop is another valid talent for all mages, allowing them to buy items more quickly.
