[Gameplay] New years List of Kalista Bugs
A couple months ago I wrote about Kalista's slow interaction with her passive. It got ignored and now i can't even find it. So, to celebrate the upcoming New Year I'm going to write a list of Kalista's bugs I have noticed throughout my whole carrier as a Kalista main (My carrier is not THAT long but still).
The List of things that annoy Kalista mains:
-
THE DAMN SLOW INTERACTION which I called "the Levitation" So in short, Kalista's passive has a scripted length of how much you can jump (increasing with boot tier), but apparently the time it takes to jump that distance scales (ONLY) with how much you have been slowed. So if you get slowed by some amount you gonna jump veeeery slowly which doesn't let you use your auto attacks since, you know, you float for 2 seconds after each auto. To eliminate this "interaction" i suggest reducing the distance she can jump by the amount she is slowed. This way she can use her passive and auto attacks fully without the need to stand still until the slow wears off to be an ADC.
-
Kalista can't lock onto the Inhibitors nor the Nexus One great thing about Kalista is that you can target an enemy and use your passive without the need to click on that enemy every time you want to attack it. Though you have to exclude the nexus and inhibitors. Every time you try to do that you jump once and start walking for a moment. My hypothesis is that their hitbox is very big and when you click on it the attack move tries to lock onto the place you clicked on. But since it's very big, the locking on keeps switching to adjust with Kalista's position and the lock on just breaks.
-
Kalista's E (Rend) proc after each first auto attack on a new enemy How this one happens i can't explain. If you suddenly do a combination of clicks, your E can get this effect. It doesn't cost mana - you just get bonus 100 or so damage every time you attack. After a while it goes away. And that leads us to another bug! Unexpected huh?
-
You can cast Kalista's E (Rend) at 0 mana! You heard me right! You can bait people with that very easily! This bug is.... just there. You don't need anything special to make it work. Just get to 0 mana and use it to your heart's desire. Riot just programmed her E poorly so it always counts the enemy as it is gonna die from E (Rend). Sadly - you can't go beneath 0 mana so no negative mana :(
-
You can use Kalista's E on an enemy that is in stasis (Zhonya's, Stopwatch, Bard R) I don't know if this works with other champions similar abilities but this bug is also just there.
-
Kalista's Q (Pierce) only transfers E (Rend) spears from the last killed enemy So for example:
- There are 3 minions and a practice dummy (yes, I tested it. Was extremely hard) standing in a line and there are 2 spears in each minion. If I killed all 3 with my Q (Pierce) the dummy would have only 3 spears. 2 (for the last killed enemy) + 1 (from the Q) = 3 spears
- There are 2 minions and a practice dummy standing in a line and there are 5 spears in the first minion. If I killed both the practice dummy would have only 1 spear. 0 (for the last killed enemy) + 1 (from the Q) = 1 spear
-
Kalista R bug I don't know even how to summarize this. Just watch for yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NirwonRwdI . Vandiril doing Vandiril stuff.
-
Kalista's auto attack won't be completed if she jumps out of a bush while attacking (Saw this one with my own eyes but still needs testing to make sure) Yeah...... Her passive states that "Your auto attack will end if the enemy goes out of vision." WELL if YOU go out and in of the enemy vision (in that order) Kalista's auto will also not finish. You still can proc Kalista's W (Sentinel) though. Speaking of which...
-
Kalista's W (Sentinel) procs before the auto attack attack finishes You can simply click the enemy with the W mark and when Kalista finishes her throw animation the W damage will be done. Meanwhile the actual auto attack will join after the W or it might not even finish (as I said in the eighth fragment).
-
Kalista's passive item (The Black spear) binds with the chosen ally even if he dies while being bound Sorry Nautilus D: . How could i have known they were invading?
-
After Kalista uses her passive item (The Black spear) she can go do what ever she wants and the bind will finish This is just aesthetically displeasing. There is this whole ritual in which you bind with your soulmate and you just walk away. And it somehow finishes by itself.
This is all for now. There are a couple more i heard about but i don't actually know if they work or not. Gonna do a bit of testing and only then add them to the list. If you have any bugs that i haven't said comment down below and I'll add them to the list. Have a great New year Y'all :)
