Guide to Countering Kalista as Dr. Mundo

Tips for Playing as Dr. Mundo against Kalista

Cleavers are a powerful tool for killing neutral monsters. Instead of returning to base, farm neutral monsters until your ultimate can heal you.

A well-timed Sadism can bait enemy champions into attacking you even when they lack the damage to finish you.

Spirit Visage will increase the healing done by your ultimate and lower cooldowns on all of your abilities.

Advice to Win Against Kalista

Kalista's mobility is dependent upon attacking. This means it is low when she is outside of her attack range and that Attack Speed slows reduce the amount of distance she can cover in an engagement.

If you can break line of sight from Kalista, including through brush, her basic attacks will miss you, falling harmlessly to the ground.

Kalista cannot cancel her basic attack wind up. While she is very mobile, this offers a window to land spells on her if you anticipate when she will begin attacking.
