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
  武术姿态

  如果卡莉丝塔在进行普攻或穿刺的同时被下达了移动指令，那么她会在发起进攻的同时朝着这个移动指令的方向位移小段距离。

  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
  穿刺

  扔出一个快速移动的长矛。长矛在击杀敌人后会继续飞行。

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

• W
  哨兵

  在卡莉丝塔与誓约者一起攻击相同目标时提供额外伤害。激活此技能可以派出一个灵魂来侦查道路，将它面前的区域显示在玩家的视野内。

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

• E
  撕裂

  攻击时用长矛来刺穿目标。主动激活可以将长矛扯出，造成减速和逐步上升的伤害。

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

• R
  命运的召唤

  卡莉丝塔传送一位友军到自己身边。该友军随后可以冲向一个地点，并击退命中的敌人。

  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.
