Kalista General information
Kalista tips and tricks
Don’t use your Rend E until you’re completely finished with the skirmish as you may miss out on extra Rend E stacks. Activate E as you finish the exchange.
Make good use of your W 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 R to start a team fight by pulling in and throwing out your partner on an enemy who is caught out of position.
