Appearance[]
Stick War: Legacy[]
In Stick War: Legacy, the Kai Rider is a Deadkai who mounts a giant with a color of (approximately) #6C2A26 which is the color of an enemy opponent. On one of the giant's hands, it wields an uprooted tree of a cyan tint. Similar to the trees you see on the map of Endless Deads. The giant appears to have an enlarged version of a level two Archidon quiver with teeth-like material on which the Kai and its scythe stands. The Kai holds a leash attached to its mouth and many other straps behind it, exposing its teeth. The giant's eyes are covered by a polished mineral similar to iron.
Stick War: Saga[]
In Stick War: Saga, the giant now has a black color and the Deadkai is replaced by the Marrowkai. There is also a bag holding the head of the deceased Medusa attached to the teeth-like material.
Abilities[]

The Deadkai can summon 4-10 Riser Deads. It shares this ability with the Deadkai.
Description[]
As a Boss[]
The Kai Rider usually appears together with the reinforcements. It deals 240 damage to regular Giants.
As a Spell[]
The Kai Rider is weaker, dealing 75 damage when controlled by the AI.
Strategies[]
Uses[]
- The Deads can work as powerful meatshields. They can shield the Kai Rider while it generates even more Deads. Together with Order units, they can charge at the enemy. Take note that if you have multiple Kai Riders summoning Deads, the Deads force the Order Units backwards.
Countering[]
- The Kai Rider can be easily defeated with: three rows of, or 12 Speartons; and four rows of, or 16 Archidons.
- A minimum of three Speartons and one Spearton Madness spell can deal great damage to the Kai Rider. Each of the thrown spears will inflict much upon the mini-boss, which is further amplified by user control and headshots. This counter is less effective if the Kai Rider summons Deads, as the spears may hit them instead.
- Alternatively, one can control a Spearton and move behind the enemy. They can then throw the spear into its back, dealing 800 damage. This is effective so long as the Kai Rider remains distracted, instead of targeting the lone Spearton behind enemy lines, making it prone to ambush.
- Giants (with earthquake) can plow through summoned Deads.
Notes:[]
- As the Giant turns, the stone patch will readjust to face the viewer.
- In the Tournament Mode, ruthless used to use the Kai Rider as part of her reinforcements.
