How to beat Kalista

Common role: ADC

A spear-hopping revenant whose rend executes and ult throws allies.

What makes Kalista dangerous

Kalista hops after every auto (uncancellable kite), stacks spears in you and RENDS them all for execute damage, spots with sentinels, and her ultimate pulls her Oathsworn ally in, then launches them as an unstoppable knock-up engage.

How to play against Kalista

• 1Hard CC stops the hop-kite instantly — she has no dash, just hops.
• 2Back off before the spear stack hits execute range — count them.
• 3Punish the ult: while her support is airborne, she's down a partner.
• 4She's squishy and weak alone — catch her split from the Oathsworn.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Lowest base AD scaling — weak without full items and partner.
• ✓Hops need attack targets — blind bushes stop the kite.
• ✓Hard CC ends her: no escape beyond hops.
• ✓The ult is also her only disengage — bait it.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Kalista's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  戦の所作

  通常攻撃または「貫魂の一投」の準備アクション中に移動指示を出すと、攻撃時にその方向へ跳躍して移動する。

  Strong: every auto hops — an uncancellable kite that dodges while shooting. Weak: hops need attack orders — blind her targets (brush/stealth) and she stalls.

• Q
  貫魂の一投

  高速で飛ぶ槍を投げる。命中した敵の体力がゼロになると、槍がその敵を貫通する。

  Strong: a piercing spear that carries rend stacks through kills. Weak: a straight line fired mid-hop — juke the rhythm.

• W
  執念の霊魂

  カリスタと「魂盟の同志」が同じ対象を攻撃すると追加ダメージを与える。スキルを発動すると霊魂を飛ばして周辺を偵察させ、霊魂の前方エリアを可視状態にする。

  Strong: sentinels scout lanes and her passive punishes duo-lane hits. Weak: mostly macro value — sweep the sentinels.

• E
  引き裂く遺恨

  通常攻撃するたびに、対象に槍の幻影が残る。発動すると槍の幻影が炸裂し、対象に刺さった槍の本数に比例するダメージを与え、スロウ効果を付与する。

  Strong: RENDS all stacked spears — slows and executes at scale. Weak: count your spears — back off before the execute math works.

• R
  宿命の呼び声

  「魂盟の同志」を強制的に自身の近くに吸い寄せる。カリスタの元に吸い寄せられた「魂盟の同志」は自分で指定した地点に突撃でき、範囲内にいる敵ユニットをわずかにノックバックさせる。

  Strong: pulls her Oathsworn in, then LAUNCHES them as an unstoppable knock-up. Weak: while the partner flies, she fights alone — punish the window.

Itemization

Lockdown beats hops. Track spear stacks, split her from the support, and punish the ult's partner-less window.
