Learn how to play with Kalista with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Attack the same targets as Kalista when you're her Oathsworn — this triggers Soul-Mark, dealing bonus magic damage equal to 14-18% of the target's max health and significantly boosting your duo's trading power in lane and skirmishes.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Stay within long range of Kalista when you're her Oathsworn — moving further away shuts off Soul-Mark procs and disables her ultimate (R), severely limiting her impact in fights.
Lane Phase Team Fight
When Kalista's ultimate (R) lifts you as her Oathsworn, aim your dash to collide with a priority enemy — colliding knocks up everyone nearby for up to 2 seconds, giving your team a strong follow-up window.
Team Fight Skirmish
Time your Smite with Kalista's Rend (E) during Dragon and Baron fights — even though Rend deals reduced damage to epic monsters, the combo still makes objective secures very hard for the enemy to contest.
Late Game
Ward brushes near skirmishes with Kalista — her passive dash and follow-up attacks can whiff if her target slips into unwarded fog of war, costing her a kill in close fights.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Save your crowd control and peel for enemies trying to lock Kalista down in teamfights — she has no escape besides kiting with her passive, so a single hard CC can end her instantly.
Team Fight
Watch for Kalista landing a kill with Rend (E) — killing a target instantly resets its cooldown and restores mana, letting her immediately detonate stacks on a new target in the same fight.
