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 Xayah

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay out of her feathers' path

    Don't stand between Xayah and her feathers on the ground: Bladecaller (E) pulls them back to her, and 3 feathers passing through you root you.

  2. Engage when the ground is clear

    If you can engage, go in when she has no feathers on the ground: without them, Bladecaller (E) can't root you.

  3. Wait for her to land

    During Featherstorm (R), hold your spells: she's untargetable for 1.5 seconds, then lands, leaving a line of feathers.
