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 Yunara

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her prayer bead

    Dodge Arc of Judgment (W): the bead slows you, then damages you every second, and it reaches 1150.

  2. Short trades

    Take short trades: each Yunara auto charges Cultivation of Spirit (Q), which then gives her attack speed and bonus damage.

  3. Engage outside her Transcendent State

    If you can engage, go in while Transcend One's Self (R) is on cooldown: outside her Transcendent State, she has no dash, only the speed of Kanmei's Steps (E).

  4. Spread out while her Q is active

    When Cultivation of Spirit (Q) is active, spread out from your allies: her autos then spread to nearby enemies.
