Learn how to play with Kalista with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Attack the same targets as Kalista when you're her Oathsworn to trigger Soul-Mark's bonus damage (14-18% of target's maximum health). This significantly increases your duo's trading power in lane and skirmishes.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Stay within 1100 units of Kalista when you're her Oathsworn. Being outside this range prevents both Soul-Mark procs and the use of Fate's Call (R), severely limiting her effectiveness in fights.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
When Kalista uses her ultimate on you as her Oathsworn, aim your knockup at priority targets or multiple enemies in teamfights. The 1-2 second knockup provides valuable time for your team to follow up with damage.
Team Fight Skirmish
Coordinate with Kalista during objectives like Dragon or Baron. Her Rend (E) combined with a jungler's Smite creates a powerful secure combo that's difficult for enemies to outsmite.
Late Game
Place Control Wards in lane brushes when fighting near them with Kalista. Her passive prevents auto-attacks if enemies drop into fog of war, which can cost her crucial kills in close fights.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Prioritize protecting Kalista from crowd control as she's extremely vulnerable when immobilized. Use your peeling abilities or CC on enemies trying to lock her down in teamfights.
Team Fight
When Kalista gets a kill with her Rend (E), the cooldown resets immediately. Be ready to engage on new targets when this happens, as she can quickly build and detonate spears on another enemy.
Skirmish Team Fight
Look for opportunities to engage in extended trades with Kalista rather than short burst exchanges. Her Rend stacking mechanic makes her stronger the longer a fight continues.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Kalista plays safe in the first few levels and becomes stronger as the lane progresses. Provide protection early and look for aggressive plays once she has a few levels in her abilities.
Basic Lane Phase
When fighting in lane, position yourself so enemies are behind low-health minions. This allows Kalista's Q (Pierce) to kill the minion and transfer Rend stacks to the enemy champion behind it.
Advanced Lane Phase
