K'Sante Runes 26.17 – Updated Rune Build

K'Sante runes for patch 26.17 were reviewed against Riot Games Data Dragon 16.17.1 and the official 26.17 patch context. Riot does not publish one official best rune page for every champion, so this DostGame editorial setup focuses on frontline durability and crowd-control timing, lane pressure and matchup needs.

K'Sante 26.17 quick rune setup

• Primary: Resolve — Grasp of the Undying → Demolish → Second Wind → Overgrowth
• Secondary: Precision — Triumph + Legend: Haste
• Stat shards: Attack Speed or Ability Haste + Adaptive Force + Scaling Health

Keystone and primary tree

Grasp of the Undying defines the main trade pattern. Take fights when it can be triggered cleanly and keep an exit route. Demolish, Second Wind and Overgrowth complete lane stability, combat tempo and scaling. If the opposing lane changes the expected trade length, adjust the resource or defensive row before loading in.

Secondary tree and matchup swaps

Triumph covers the first need left by the primary tree, while Legend: Haste reinforces the mid-game plan. Against heavy poke, burst or layered crowd control, change this pair instead of copying one page into every matchup. Flat Health is safer into early burst, Scaling Health gains value in quiet lanes, and tenacity matters against long control chains.

Laning phase, mid game and teamfights

In lane, protect the wave state and trade around the keystone. In mid game, save the strongest rune window for dragon, Herald and tower fights. In late teamfights, keep K'Sante's role and positioning ahead of a low-percentage chase; a correct rune page cannot repair a broken formation.
