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.
