Some Kalista Tips

I love Kalista A LOT personally, and also love her playstyle. A really mobile character that if well played can destroy an entire team.

For those who are still trying to learn Kalista, I can give you some hints.

Picks:

There are some awesome supports that go with kalista. I'll put here a few and sme of the reasons why.

First one: Leona. Oh. I love this combo. Leona provides so much CC, which is great for you to give you even more time to stack your E on your opponents and an easier W proc, as she will hit them with her Q and it procs :) She is also good for the ultimate as she is quite tanky so you can ult to send her to the front line.

Morgana.

First, her E prevents you from being hit by hard CC and get disrupted. Example. If you happen to go against a leona and you don't have a morgana on your team, you will likely lose the trades because leona can make you totally useless and exposed as you can't auto attack to get away, since you'll be stunned. You can also use your ultimate during morgana's so it works like a zhonya's!

Thresh. Provides good CC and tankiness as well, and great to grab you some kills. He is ranged so you can proc W's easier.

Blitzcrank.

Ballista. All I have to say. You prooobably want to do the Ballista thing Only if you are premading and have communication like skype so it gets much easier, but he also is tanky and provides CC and picks you up some kills. Also quite easy to proc W as he will use his E after a grab, proccing it. Even without voice chat, it's still a good pick. Just watch out for morganas.

Skills: 2 ways to level them. Q>E>W or E>Q>W. Depends who you are against.

I prefer leveling E first If i am against an ADC and supports with little Gap openers / CC such as Jinx / Soraka, etc. I also do it for Miss fortune as she can dodge Q's extremely easily. So if I miss it, I don't lose too much of my damage.

Leveling Q first is great against targets who have long range and some sort of mobility , you just have to use it right. If you are against a graves for example (really in the meta guy) You want to get Q so you can poke him. If he uses E to dodge it, then you know he won't have it to go all in on you or to escape. Use that time to either farm safer or if you see you have the lead, go all in (example, if their support is low, graves has no ultimate/Q, etc)

Items: I like getting either or on the first back, and if possible some .

After that, follow these orders:

1: . This makes you a beast dishing out damage in teamfights , just be careful as you have no defense items.

2: / . If you are struggling a bit more in lane, you can need this for the sustain. Also the GA is useful IF they have assassins on their team or high damage outputters that kill you super fast. The revive you need to try to get on a place right around your team so you don't get nuked as soon as you come out of the GA effect.

Item Tips:

is GREAT with Kalista as you can get loads of stacks by using your passive to the max. Like that every 4-5 hits should proc the stattik.

provides LOADS of help as it synergyses so well! It lets you stack E and even faster on more enemies, amazing for teamfights as your E can deal loads of damage to up to 3 enemies. And if possible those could be their ADC and mid laner!

I just wrote this to help some players out, as Kalista is my main ADC pick :)
