How to play

General
  1. You build Lethality and play like AD caster.
  2. If an enemy team is full of tanks or bruisers, rush Serylda's Grudge or even Lord Dominik's Regards early (sometimes even #2). Black Cleaver is also an alternative. The key is to adapt to the enemy team.

Tips and Tricks

Riot
  1. Rend is a valuable last hitting aid, since its cooldown resets if it kills a target.
  2. Entering a move order once to trigger Martial Poise will not clear Kalista's basic attack target.
  3. Due to her passive, Kalista's Move Speed is effectively increased by Attack Speed.
