How it works

General
  1. You are going to be building damage items, going AD and Crit.
  2. You are going to play carry for your team.

How to play

General
  1. Kalista Crit build. You go AD, Attack Speed and of course... Crit!
  2. Don't rush Infinity Edge. Usually go for it as #2 or #3 item.

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.
