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 Jinx

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: with the minigun from Switcheroo! (Q), each auto increases her attack speed, so long trades favor her.

  2. Punish her lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go for her when her support walks away: with no dash or leap, Jinx can only back off on foot.

  3. Walk around her traps

    Don't step on Flame Chompers! (E): they root the champion who touches them. Walk around them or wait for them to vanish after 5 seconds.

  4. Deny her the first kill

    If you can reach her, focus her first: any takedown gives her a big speed boost with Get Excited! (passive).
