Kalista Bot guide

Kalista is a marksman built around Pierce (Q), Rend (E), and Fate's Call (R): land attacks to impale targets with spears, activate Rend to rip them out for escalating damage and a slow, while Martial Poise (passive) turns a movement command mid-attack into a repositioning lunge.

The build

Rune page: Lethal Tempo, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand (Precision), with Treasure Hunter and Sudden Impact (Domination). Summoners: Flash and Barrier. Skill order opens and maxes Rend (E) first, with Pierce (Q) second and Sentinel (W) last. Starter: Doran's Bow and two Health Potions, into Berserker's Greaves. Core build: Statikk Shiv, Guinsoo's Rageblade, Terminus, with Blade of The Ruined King, Jak'Sho, The Protean, and Wit's End as later options.

Ability mechanics

Pierce (Q) throws a fast spear that passes through any enemy it kills. Rend (E) impales targets on hit and can be activated to rip the spears out, slowing and dealing escalating damage. Sentinel (W) grants bonus damage when Kalista and her Oathsworn strike the same target, and can be activated to send a scouting soul down a path. Fate's Call (R) teleports the Oathsworn to Kalista and gives them a dash that knocks enemy champions back.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Tristana, Jinx, Senna, Ashe, Jhin. Best matchups: Ezreal, Caitlyn, Kai'Sa.
