Armor and Max Health tank build, slightly higher win rate
When you play top (Baron lane) against heavy physical damage and basic attacks
The items and summoner spells are the same as build 2, and its 55.26% win rate is slightly above build 2's 54.96%. In total the build gives +2150 Max Health and +240 Armor, while Magic Resistance stays at +90. Plated Steelcaps reduces damage you take from champion basic attacks by 10%. Randuin's Omen makes critical strikes deal 30% less physical damage to you. Amaranth's Twinguard gains Endurance stacks while you fight enemy champions, and at 5 stacks your Armor and Magic Resistance rise by 30%.
Tank build with the same items as build 1, more popular
Like build 1, when you play top (Baron lane) against heavy physical damage and basic attacks
The items and summoner spells are the same as build 1, and its popularity of 11,564 is higher than build 1's 9,035. After you use an ability, Iceborn Gauntlet makes your next basic attack within 10 seconds deal bonus physical damage in an area. That damage includes 25% of your bonus AR, and an icy field that slows enemies by 30% stays for 2 seconds. While you are in combat with champions, Unending Despair deals magic damage to nearby enemy champions every 4 seconds. The damage is 3% of your max HP and the heal is 250% of the damage dealt, so both grow as you stack Max Health.

Prioritize your main damage skill, which also handles wave clear, first, then level the one that reduces incoming damage.
Manage your Skill 1 stacks while using it for both CS and harass. When the enemy trades back, absorb the damage with your Skill 3 shield and Skill 2 damage reduction. That is how you keep trades in your favor.
Push the side lane for priority and rotate to jungle skirmishes. Near walls, use your Ult to take the enemy carry over to the other side and force a 1v1, which is where K'Sante excels.
Hold the frontline with your durability and wait for the right moment to use your Ult. Going All Out too early strips your defenses and gets you killed quickly, so watch your health carefully.
Skill 2 makes you immune to CC while charging, so use it to push through and force the engage. Pick the most dangerous enemy carry, take them over a wall with your Ult, and cut them off from the teamfight. That is K'Sante's main job.
Your Ult cuts a large chunk of your max HP and resistances. Using it the moment a fight starts turns you into an easy target. Soak the enemy's skills and damage as a tank first, then go All Out once your health is lower to turn the fight around.
Alternate Skill 1 and autos to build stacks and shield with Skill 3. Use Skill 2 for damage reduction and CC.
Pull with the third cast of Skill 1 and shove them into a wall with Skill 2. Smash through with Ult in All Out form for heavy damage.

A three-step guide set by the official champion library. For difficulty, a higher number means harder to play.
Critical damage is 200% for every champion. These figures exclude items and runes.
Our take
The number stays at 50%, but who it works on has changed. Against marksmen and mages carrying almost no armour, K'Sante no longer eats into base AR, so his post-transform finish is weaker. It still cuts through stacked frontliners as before, which nudges the target he should be hauling over a wall with All Out away from a pure backline pick and toward the tanks.
Our take
K'Sante was too durable while transformed, so the cost of All Out goes up across the board. He now gives up 30% of his max HP and 80% of his bonus AR and MR, leaving him genuinely fragile in that form. If he dives someone and fails to finish the kill, he dies to the counterattack far more easily. All Out is now a button to save for moments when follow-up from the team is guaranteed.
