Help me with Kalista

Kaisa is Hot·Jul 5, 2016·1 votes·377 views

Now I know, she is a low win-rate, high skill-floor champion, well at least I think she is, and I'm looking for help or tips or even suggestions on how to play her correctly and efficiently, Like builds etc, I need to be able to carry cause it seems like I really have trouble vs fed enemy laners, I just don't know how to atm but want to learn. I don't want to complain about other lanes feeding but it seems like it happens at least 85% of the time when I play Kalista, now I;m not saying I'm perfect, to be quite honest I'm trash. But what should I do to carry in these situations?

How do you guys personally attack with her, do you shift + click to move? Do you A + Right click, or do you simple target?

Learn how Martial Poise works as you move each time you attack. It scales off attack speed. It used to scale of boot tiers but that's irrelevant now in Rito's attempt to nerf her. Shift and Click is the best route for her because during late game it helps her kite through skillshots very well. You should practise it in either customs or bot games so you can get a proper feeling to it. It's how I learned to use it.

18-12 mastery with Fervor of Battle as your keystone.

Start W then E Q, max your E and then your Q. Level your ult when you can.

Your core items are Blade of The Ruined King, Berserkers Greaves and Runaan's Hurricane, in that order. Follow up with Last whisper and either build it into Lord Dominick's Regard or Mortal Reminder, depending on the enemy top laner.

Last 2 items can be situational.

Standard ADC runes.

Ok thanks a lot, Will give it a shot and tell you how this goes over a couple of games.

No problem. Make sure to get Bilgewater Cutlass first instead of recurve bow. You'll need the sustain between level's 5-9.

So my Kalista is looking wayyy better now, I actually did good enough to get the tokens for Mastery 6 :), Once I figured out that I was using attack move command wrong, everything got so much better, It would feel so clunky to use attack move before cause I would randomly attack targets instead of targetting the attack move command near the one I wanted to hit. My recent match history is pretty nice, even if I'm testing this out in normals, before I couldn't even do good in Normals.

Glad to hear! [slayer-jinx-wink]
