Weather Malphite's Unstoppable Force (R) engage by charging K'Sante's Path Maker (W) for its damage reduction and immobilize resistance, then keep pressuring the armor tank with Ntofo Strikes (Q) max-health damage.

Dodge Ornn's Volcanic Rupture (Q)-Searing Charge (E) Brittle combo with K'Sante's Footwork (E) dash, then pressure the engage-starved Ornn in lane with Path Maker (W) knockback and sustained melee trades.

Ignore Sion's charged Decimating Smash (Q) knockup with Path Maker (W) immobilize resistance, and overwhelm a Sion who lacks hard CC to lock you down in a melee brawl through sustained trades.

When Volibear approaches with Thundering Smash (Q), K'Sante uses Path Maker (W)'s unstoppable state and damage reduction to absorb the stun and push him back. Sky Splitter (E) provides a slow and shield rather than a stun, so K'Sante can leave its area before continuing the short trade.

Before Siphoning Strike (Q) stacks pile up, use Ntofo Strikes (Q) poke and melee trades to starve Nasus in lane and delay his scaling.

If Riposte (W) blocks Ntofo Strikes (Q)'s third-cast pull and stun or All Out (R)'s displacement, Riposte's strike becomes a stun. Duelist's Dance (P) vital true damage also bypasses K'Sante's defensive stats.

Vayne kites with Silver Bolts (W) max-health true damage and Tumble (Q)/Condemn (E) knockback, making it hard even to close in or land All Out (R).

While Gwen is inside Hallowed Mist (W) and K'Sante remains outside, he cannot target her with All Out (R) or other targeted actions. A Thousand Cuts (P)'s max-health magic damage and Snip Snip! (Q)'s center true damage punish his defenses.

Darius interrupts K'Sante's Footwork (E) escape with Apprehend (E) and builds Hemorrhage (P) stacks. After All Out (R) lowers K'Sante's defensive stats, Noxian Guillotine (R)'s execute becomes even more threatening.

Camille uses Hookshot (E) to avoid Path Maker (W) and All Out (R)'s frontal angles. Precision Protocol (Q)'s second-hit true damage and Tactical Sweep (W)'s outer-cone max-health physical damage punish K'Sante's defenses.
