Kalista Matchups Overview

Kalista General information

Kalista tips and tricks

Don’t use your Rend RendE until you’re completely finished with the skirmish as you may miss out on extra Rend RendE stacks. Activate RendE as you finish the exchange.

Make good use of your SentinelW by using it to scout vision in the river. Aim it as far as it will so it provides as much information as possible.

You can use your Ultimate Fate's CallR to start a team fight by pulling in and throwing out your partner on an enemy who is caught out of position.
