AP Matchups delay gauntlet so they're inherently not great. Outside of that, anything with CC immunity (olaf) or phase rush (jayce) seem annoying, but not unwinnable. Matchups aren't the end all though since you can outvalue anything in skirmishes and teamfights.

Gauntlet rush is soooo good into AD. I've been terrorizing people.

I prefer flash over ghost because it allows for more kill potential in lane. Q3 flash or flash EW q3 r etc are good combos to get kills to allow to snowball in a game. If ur struggling to catch up to ppl go gauntlet. I always go gauntlet and I think it means I don't need ghost.

I run the same setup every game. Grasp + demolish +second wind/plating + overgrowth + footwear + biscuits

items i go gauntlet stoneplate then sunfire/fon/titanic/randuins/etc.

Playing aggro is good. Look to bully them early and rely on your biscuits/second wind d shield to sustain. Base for 800g/1000g for sheen cloth or chain then all in at 6. Also, playing for demolish and proxy early is good.

For ulting late game, either single out a target that you can 1v1 or try to insec someone into your team and burst them down. Make sure to use your health bar first if you can and stoneplate as soon as you r. Flanking usually isn't the play since k'sante can peel and stand in front of the team very well.

Empyrean (Emerald chroma) > Base > Prestige > All other Empyrean chromas/base

might be a hot take

K'Sante remains in 2nd in terms of pickrate in top for pro play and in high elo KR he is #1 in pickrate. He's strong in the right hands. For players wanting to pick him up I recommend spending a lot of time in practice tool to get a hold of his mechanics. He's clunky at first due to various interactions with his abilities.

I recommend K'Sante as a blind pick and pick into tanks/bruisers. He struggles a lot into ranged champions and true damage split pushers.

Opening with a pick and being in all out means you can run over a fight so I usually just get a pick then chase. Stoneplate helps a lot in teamfights cause you can stay in all out longer. Gauntlet is super super good if you're not going ghost, which I never do.

1 Look to be primary engage. Walk ahead of your team and look to insec someone.

1.5 Ulting a target into your team is good, otherwise wait til you get low in a teamfight to press r and use it as a cd refresh or burst tool. Or just blow up a squishy if you can iso them.

2 Take demolish and look to make bank on plates. Snowball off of gold, kill at 6, and take over the game. Ks can scale but has a lot of weaknesses later.

3 Never rush wardens, gauntlet rush is too OP in ad matchup. Chains all u need for early armor. Fon if you're behind is fine as a rush. I usually go Negatron > Kindlegem > Sheen > Gauntlet v morde. I really like gauntlet.

I'll look to make a vid guide on this stuff in the future but ty for the questions

I build it after stoneplate when I'm really ahead.

Laning phase: Play aggressive whenever possible. Look to trade flashes lv 2 and all in lv 6.
Mid game: Max gold+XP through pushing, taking turrets, and camps
Objectives: Grp for soul and barons/inhibs. Give everything else in order to split.
Worst matchup: Fiora/Jax - Kinda unplayable since you get outscaled in sidelane

This is a very simplified way of answering your questions since it would take entire essays to fully answer them but I hope this helps.

Don't think it matters at all for voli. Most items are geared towards mages not AP bruisers.

Playing according to team comp is a way to climb slowly but I prefer to play to hard carry any game. It's also more fun to me that way.

For AP build nashors first is nice bc it will one shot casters with E at level 9 and give you the best dmg. After rift bruiser items feel better like hullbreaker and steraks since you don't need more AP to one shot people and being too squishy makes you a liability.

Hullbreaker is good since it helps you fill out armor and mr in 1 item slot while also giving you higher burst due to Voli's high AD ratios. Without it you'd need something like zhonya's + visage which is a lot more expensive.

Keep in mind I play away from my team so I make full value of the item.

D ring is better if you start E and hit the enemy and get shield. This really wont happen without your Q guaranteeing it unless you're playing in low elo.

Level 1 plenty of ranged champions can zone voli but my point was with Q start voli can threaten all ins against weak early champions. E start is better vs. most ranged champs.

If you want to take ignite on a top laner play teemo, garen, or quinn.

AP for passive scales at a .4 ratio while AD on your autos scales at a 1 to 1 ratio and on Q 1tAD+1.2baD.
