Learn how to Kalista counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Apply slows and crowd control against Kalista — her Passive dash speed is directly reduced by slows, and she can't dash at all while immobilized, severely limiting her mobility and damage output.
Team Fight Skirmish
Keep trades short against Kalista — her E (Rend) becomes increasingly dangerous with more spear stacks, so disengage before she accumulates too many on you.
Basic Lane Phase
Track the number of spears in you and nearby allies - the more spears visible, the higher Kalista's potential burst damage when activating E.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Focus Kalista instead of her support after level 6 — her R (Fate's Call) can make her support invulnerable and cleanse all CC, wasting your resources if you prioritize the wrong target.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Ward Baron and Dragon when Kalista is missing — her E (Rend) allows her to secure objectives quickly since it deals significant damage to monsters and resets cooldown if it gets a kill.
Late Game
Be especially cautious when Kalista completes Berserker's Greaves or Runaan's Hurricane — these items significantly increase her attack speed and Rend stack application.
Lane Phase Late Game
Play defensively in the early game and focus on scaling — Kalista is strongest in the early phases where her mobility and Rend damage can quickly snowball a lane.
Lane Phase
Avoid letting both Kalista and her Oathsworn attack the same target — when both apply their W (Soul-Mark) to the same enemy, it deals bonus percentage health damage.
Lane Phase Team Fight
Use Control Wards to deny vision from Kalista's W (Sentinel) — limiting her vision control makes her more vulnerable to ganks and rotations.
Lane Phase Late Game
Spread out when Kalista uses her ultimate — her Oathsworn can knock up multiple enemies in an area when launched, potentially disrupting your entire team.
