the Spear of Vengeance
Overview
Class: Marksman
A specter of wrath and retribution, Kalista is the undying spirit of vengeance, an armored nightmare summoned from the Shadow Isles to hunt deceivers and traitors. The betrayed may cry out in blood to be avenged, but Kalista only answers those willing to pay with their very souls.

Tips
Playing as Kalista
- ✦Rend is a valuable last hitting aid, since its cooldown resets if it kills a target.
- ✦Entering a move order once to trigger Martial Poise will not clear Kalista's basic attack target.
- ✦Due to her passive, Kalista's Move Speed is effectively increased by Attack Speed.
Playing against Kalista
- ✦Kalista's mobility is dependent upon attacking. This means it is low when she is outside of her attack range and that Attack Speed slows reduce the amount of distance she can cover in an engagement.
- ✦Kalista cannot cancel her basic attack wind up. While she is very mobile, this offers a window to land spells on her if you anticipate when she will begin attacking.
- ✦If you can break line of sight from Kalista, including through brush, her basic attacks will miss you, falling harmlessly to the ground.
