Kalista's
What To Do
- -This matchup sucks. [S16 Note: Rarer these days, but if you are hear reading to play the matchup then good luck.]
- -Level 1 try to get prio, but be careful because Kalita wins level 1.
- -You literally can only take trades against her if you land Q.
- -Take long ranged Qs so if you miss, Kalista can't punish you after.
- -If you Land Q, you can E her before Q expires to slow her to prevent retaliation.
- -Be careful standing behind low health minions because Kalista will throw Q to kill it, and if it hits you, the rend stacks transfer.
- -Post 6 she gets free ganks for her jungler to dive, so be very careful.
- -However, just know that you hard win 1-2 items in the 1v1.
- -Going even in this lane is a HUGE win for you.
- -Do short trades with Q blind, and this is your main form of fighting her in lane.
- -You win at 2 items becasue you have enough damage to kill her when she is blinded.
Level-by-Level
Kalista hard wins level 1, so start Q in this matchup and aim to get 2 first if you can. Save Q for her and not on the wave ideally because a good kalista will run you down right after you miss it. If you use Q on the wave to get 2 first, make sure you're far back so she can't run you down after.
Be careful around low health minions because Kalista will throw her Q threw it and will get free rend stacks on you, or even worse, transferring her E stacks from the minions to you. If you can prio early, try to bully her with short trades if you land your Q on her. Otherwise, keep the wave in front of your tower and avoid Q poke. Take long ranged Qs in this matchup so if you miss, she won't punish you for it. If you land Q, auto twice then E-Auto when nearsight ends so that she's slowed when the Q expires. Don't be greedy with trades becasue she wins the fight when your Q goes away.
Ward deep in jungle because Kalista's level 6 is really good to set up jungle ganks. When you get 1-2 items, you beat kalista in 1v1 if you land your Q on her because you have enough damage to beat her. Going even with Kalista in lane is a huge win for you.
