kaisa-optimal-build

small tool uses the good_lp crate to find the cheapest Kai’sa build that is above the required threshold to upgrade her abilities. Kai’sa is a League of Legends character, who’s passive ability is that she can evolve her normal abilities after she gains enough stats from items. for her Q, it’s 100 attack damage (ad), for her W it’s ability power (ap), and for her E it’s attack speed. these requirements change by level, and this tool applies the level 1 stat requirements.

this will download all item information, straight from riot’s data dragon
