Playing as Kalista

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hop after every auto

    Issue a move command during each auto: Martial Poise (passive) then makes you hop in that direction, to kite or dodge.

  2. Stack spears before you Rend

    Stack spears before casting Rend (E): each spear after the first adds damage, but each one only stays stuck for 4 seconds.

  3. Last-hit with Rend

    Use Rend (E) to finish off minions or an objective monster: if it kills at least one target, its cooldown resets and you get mana back.

  4. Ping before Fate's Call

    Ping your Oathsworn before Fate's Call (R): you pull them to you, then they launch at the first enemy champion hit and knock back nearby enemies.

Playing against Corki

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't count on your minions

    Don't count on your minions against Missile Barrage (R): each missile explodes on impact and damages enemies around it, you included.

  2. Leave his Gatling cone

    Get out of the Gatling Gun (E) cone rather than trading inside it: it lowers your armor and magic resist while it fires.

  3. Avoid brushes hit by his bomb

    Don't rely on a brush hit by Phosphorus Bomb (Q): the area and the champions hit stay revealed for a few seconds.

  4. Engage after his dash

    If you can engage, wait until Valkyrie (W) or Special Delivery is used: he's then vulnerable, with no way to reposition.
