Kalista Matchups Overview

Kalista General information

Kalista tips and tricks

You can use your Ultimate Fate's CallR to engage or collapse on enemies who are caught out of position. On the topic of Ultimates Fate's CallR, don’t be afraid to save your Support.

Don’t use your Rend RendE until you’re completely finished with the skirmish as you may miss out on extra Rend RendE stacks. Activate RendE as you finish the exchange.

Make good use of your SentinelW by using it to scout vision in the river. Aim it as far as it will so it provides as much information as possible.
