## How to play against Kalista

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

### In lane and in teamfights

- Disengage before her E can finish stacked trades; short bursts beat extended auto fights.

- Attack her lane partner when she oversteps for autos, but leave before her stacks build.

- Force fights after her Flash or R has been spent; her escapes are limited once caught.

- Control river entries early so she cannot start objective fights with free autos and E resets.

- Apply slows or hard CC before focusing her; denying movement removes her late fight damage.

## Where Kalista is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

- Kalista's damage depends on uninterrupted hopping, so slows and hard crowd control sharply reduce her output.

- She needs extended spear stacking to finish targets, making burst trades and disengage weaken her payoff.
