Four Kalista Questions

Yulen Xoshxius·12/26/2014, 12:53:25 AM·1 votes·1,208 views

So I have 4 questions on Kalista: -Her "Martial Poise" hops are supposed to scale their distance in realation to the boots, does that mean the type of boots does not matter? Would enchanting the boots make her hop farther? -How do I hop through walls as her? I have tried using her Q with my back to a wall and I couldn't hop through it still, any tips there? -Could Kalista be a jungler with how her W sets little patrols about? I understand it would be a waste on her since she isn't with her bound person, but if she ganked a lane with her bound or has double jungle would it work? -How could she work as a support? I know she is mostly an ADC, but I am curious about it.

we refer to enchanting as 'tier 3' so it might

you can hop through some walls, try drag or the thin one at tri?

kal cant jungle, her W is the little patrol

she works as support

1: Tier 1 boots are boots of speed. Tier 2 boots are mobi boots, tabis, berzerker, and etc. Her passive hopping ability depends on the boots tier that you currently have so her passive hop distance is maxed once you get tier 2 boots. Getting an enchantment will not further increase the hop.

2: Her hop is very small so the only walls/ledges you can hop over are the extremely skinny ones like the ledge near dragon pit and the skinny ledges that hold mid lane's bushes. Fat walls dont work. I suggest you go into a custom game and trying Q hopping over various walls. Keep in mind that you should be very close to the wall as her hops are not very long so distance and position matters.

3: Jungle kallista is sort of interesting. The only problem i see is she may have issues clearing and surviving the jungle before she can get items and her ganks don't really pose a threat with proper warding. I can't comment on double jungling in the current meta because I haven't seen anyone attempt it yet. Ganking the lane of her bound partner would probably work but again, her partner would have to know how kallista's ult works in order for the gank to go smoothly.

4: In my opinion, ADCs are the most gold dependent role so running double ADC means the other adc not farming loses alot of power due to lack of items. Running kallista support is very tricky because she needs to get several stacks of her E to get decent dmg off.

Again, you're free to play her in any role. Regarding whether she is viable in any other role, I only see her doing well potentially top and mid as COUNTER PICKS to melee champions.

some walls you can only jump over with tier 2 boots

a friend tried kalista jungle, it was terrible. Not saying it's impossible but probably too difficult to be worth.

and any champ can be support if you try hard enough.
