Kalista's Rend tooltip should have more clarity

It doesn't say by how much each spear adds to the active's damage and it would be nice to have just for the sake of being clear.

Yeah, it could be a little clearer. After a little digging the numbers are as follows:

Physical Damage : 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 (+0.6 ATTACK DAMAGE) • Damage per Additional Spears : 10 / 14 / 19 / 25 / 32 (+0.2 / 0.225 / 0.25 / 0.275 / 0.3% ATTACK DAMAGE)

(Max of 254 spears, although that's not really realistic without working with the enemy to set up at their fountain.)

It's still impossible then. The highest possible Attack Speed is 2.5, that means (with Q included) she can have 11 spears go off, if she times it perfectly. Even in OFA it'd still only be a maximum of 55.

The number of spears she can have in 1 target.

All of the spears stay on the targets until she hasn't auto attacked them for 4 seconds

Really? I thought they just lingered for 4 seconds period, didn't realize it refreshed the duration...

should just say dealing --------- damage for each spear

Additional spears do not add a linear amount of damage, it's hard communicating all of that in a tooltip that's already somewhat overloaded.

They do though, each spear past the first adds +50% damage to the base rend, so 3 spears is 2x the original rend, 5 spears is 3x, ect. You can very well just say spears past the first do 50% less damage.

Xayah's Feathers are far far more complex (each does 10% less, so 1 is 100% 2 is 190% 3 is 270%, 4 is 340%, ect, although her tooltip says that the damage decays by 10% per feather pulled through her E.
