How it works

General

  1. You are going Guinsoo's Rageblade, building Attack Speed and On-Hit items.
  2. Thanks to Guinsoo's Rageblade, your On Hit effects are gonna trigger two times every third Attack.
  3. You are gonna play Carry for your team.

How to play

General

  1. Build On-Hit items!
  2. Usually Guinsoo's Rageblade is not good first rush. Get it as #2 or #3 item.
  3. Your first item should be adapting to enemy team:
    • If they have tons of HP stacking bruisers/tanks - go Blade of The Ruined King.
    • If they are super magic damage heavy / CC - go Wit's End.
    • If you want to become more tanky - go Titanic Hydra.
    • You can get Statikk Shiv for some fun and wave clear.
    • Otherwise, you can get Kraken Slayer.
  4. You need some time to ramp-up your damage (runes, items etc.), so position well and keep auto attacking!
  5. Remember to use Titanic Hydra active! It deals additional damage and also resets auto attack timer!

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.
