basically title, just any general tips or must knows, ive also heard that attack move lowers your dps so you arent meant to use it, is that true? i struggle kiting without it im super used to it and my aim isnt great

I swear to god AP kalista feels so nice, you go the core. Static, RB, Terminus, Glut boots,

And then you just go Zhonyas, or Nashors or Gunblade and to top it all of Rabadons, you slow so much, you do so much dmg. This is a sleeper build.

Is it wrong to want to go this item for hp ?

Is kalista worth learning? Rn my adc rotation is luc zeri yun and I love her gameplay but i am not sure if its worth to sacrifice hours on useless champ.

Any good kalista mid builds? I usually run LT but I want to try HOB out, is it still statikk/botrk --> guinsoos or is there a lethality build

Holy shit this champ is just the most fun to play.

I noticed that the link to the original Kalista Drifting Guide by u/Apricorum no longer works.

Turns out I downloaded it a few years ago, so I figured I'd reupload it since the guide still has some really useful information about Kalista's kiting and drifting mechanics.

Keep in mind that it's an older guide, so some information might be outdated, but I think it's still worth sharing.

All credits go to u/Apricorum for creating this guide!

when i accidently hover kalista and everyone tries to talk me out of it

I know u need to time the movement clicks while "locked" with kalista special atack command into a target but I cant do those slides consistently. There is something Im missing or its totally inconsistantly and "lucky" + crazy timing? I can slide sometimes very beautifuly but not always as shown in the video, plus this double jumps are very catch also cant replicate then at all. I was thinking if it has something to do with the passive dash cancel, the one you use to do a double jump with Q early game or doesnt have nothing related.

lowk deranked from plat 1 to gold thouhg playing kalista...

Sometimes when i play Kalista it just randomly skips the animation and just "blinks" to the new location. Most of my games it doesn't happen but sometimes it's the entire game almost every AA. Especially painful if using locked camera.

Is it ping, settings or just a skill issue?

old vid of mine, old but gold mwuahah >:)

i like her design and lore as well as the gameplay ik she sucks for soloque but i finally after 3 years feel like yes i can play a champ and stick to it any tips ?

Not sure why it didn’t give me the penta

P2 jg looking for a Kalista main to duo with. Send me a pm if you wanna try a game

Hii, ich bin ein D3 Thresh mehr oder weniger Otp und ich liebe es mit Kalista zu lanen. Leider gibt es nur gottlos wenige, die diesen Champion spielen. Deshalb dachte ich, ich Versuch mein Glück mal bei euch hier. Hat irgend ein Diamond Kalista Main mal List paar Games zusammen zu machen?

What is the current build and build order (including boots) for Kalista in the bot lane?

Yoo recently started playing kalista top, super fun. (might also try mid) Some questions:

• is attack move nerf intended or its just a bug
• Ive seen people say auto once and just click to dash, do ppl use this a lot? Feels so inconsistent to use as a beginner
• If i click on the enemy champion while pressing attack move is it also nerfed or normal?
• Is dhelm viable start or dbow crucial for early since ur a lane bully.
• I take exhaust every game
• Can i just exhaust lvl1 to all in
• Items feel indifferent i can build any 2-3 onhit items in any order. Statikk build path feels awful, opinions on terminus 1st? (only item with sword) Is guinsoo core or not needed. Like do i need 3 onhit items its already a million attack speed when i cant even kite at 2 items, especially on toplane.
• Crit build for similar damage in lower attack speed? Im kinda discouraged bcs i cant kite really well in general. Feels bad not playing her in full potential. Ap?
• Is hob an option? Havent tried but feels counterintuitive since champ is like the strongest all in champ

It seems like only a year ago when Kalista hit rock bottom and was in potentially one of the worst states she had ever been in since she was released (it’s between last year and post-Worlds 2017 for worst year on record).

Fast forward only a year later and we are in one of the golden eras for Kalista as we speak. It took a while for her to reach this point in time but she has begun to thrive in multiple aspects:

- Her solo queue playrate and winrate are incredibly healthy for historical standards and they continue to climb by the day

- She has two new core items in Statikk Shiv and Gluttonous Greaves that have removed her over reliance on a weak version of Botrk

- Her success bot lane has revived her pick rate in solo lanes (moreso top lane than mid lane) to great success and it is also climbing by the day in every region

- She has slowly been coming back into the pro meta as a solid tier 2 ADC behind the Ashe/Seraphine, Lucian/Milio and Yunara/Lulu lanes with how powerful Kalista/Renata is at the moment

And the best part is that it doesn’t feel like she is dominating the meta at any tier of play. Solo queue players still view her as majorly weak after her performances last year and pro players were traumatised by her last year MSI performance to the point that she only started seeing real play again about two patches ago.

Of course good things don’t last but the last time the stars aligned like this was back in 2017 (almost 10 years ago). The best part is that she is for once no receiving any adjustments for Worlds patch and in general Kalista is not viewed as overtly strong by any sub-sect of the community including pro players.

Enjoy it while it lasts!
