Rageblade Kalista Interactions + Build Idea Help

Rester·3/29/2019, 11:39:34 PM·1 votes·2,680 views

Alright so I need some help with this. In testing with dummies it LOOKS like you can get an additional spear into the target with rageblade procs but I'm also unsure of the viability of it. Since Kalista is kinda in dumpster territory without amazing engage supports (Thanks Riot) I've been looking at ways to maybe play the champ a little differently but still be of use at most points of the game.

In short; I need Build Ideas that synergize with bork and rageblade but also props up survivability since inevitably there's a lot of damage in the game and most of the time something like a fed Draven or Vayne or (Insert overpowered and fed top/mid/jungle here) is bound to kill you faster than you can do anything about it.

I actually do enjoy this champion and how it plays, just a lot of stuff tends to outdamage you and any LITTLE amount of slow, even 5-10% screws up your hop speed/distance and kills your rhythm.

I was thinking something like this if I can survive most of the game to farm :

Note that this is entirely revolved around getting enough Rend stacks to murder them and get additional damage off with Bork to lifesteal and kite until said target is dead.

Feel free to leave hate or like in the comments below. lol

item 3047 item 3022 item 3143 ???

build item 3153 item 3085 item 3124 item 3006 then take your pick of item 3026 item 3231 item 3033 item 3036 item 3046 item 3080

I can't see any reason you'd ever want item 3022 or item 3143

item 3153 into item 3085 is standard, and I don't really think you can really replace these two as your first.

Rageblade is actually a pretty core item on Kalista nowadays due to the interaction (most people just don't see it cuz it's rare to find a Kalista in your games). I would go rageblade third into pretty much anything, Kalista can make use of most ADC and on hit items. Very situational, I would pick from these items: item 3022 Slows and tankyness item 3031 Snowball into bigger leads, ton more damage item 3080 Healing, tankyness item 3812 Healing, survivability, tankyness item 3139 Healing, Cleanse, MR item 3035 Any version, just some nice armor pen item 3046 Crit, survivability, attack speed item 3026 AD, revive, armor I'm not a great Kalista player by any means, but this is pretty standard for Kalista and what you would see most Kalista players these days build. I don't recommend Randuins or really any tank item as it's just not that beneficial for Kalista, considering your auto already does less you want a bit more damage on that auto, and many ADC's items have built in survivability, such as GA, phantom dancer, Bloodthirster, etc. Frozen Mallet is quite a good choice though, it also makes it pretty difficult to catch up/escape Kalista.

If your lanes are ordered well and you dont need to teamfight fully, but are still skirmishing, item 3124 second is far better than item 3085 .

item 3091 (a common 4th major item) is far better than item 3046 vs AP, crits are bad for her animations. Also energizes perfectly with item 3124 and of course your supports item 3050 .

As for playstyle, you want to hard CC and then burst shred someone, then chase down additional kills. Even with just BoRK RB, its possible to auto your next victim as you rend execute the first one, giving you the slow on the second so you can kite past them ready for third.
