Tips for Playing as Kalista with Elise

Rend is a valuable last hitting aid, since its cooldown resets if it kills a target.

Entering a move order once to trigger Martial Poise will not clear Kalista's basic attack target.

Advice to Understand How Elise Will Play

Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.

Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.

Is Kalista better when played alongside Elise?

There is no top companion for Kalista that will 100% of the time be her best synergy. Yet, Elise is a very bad companion for Kalista. By locking into the same side as Kalista, she lowers their win rate by -4.0% to 43.4%. This clearly indicates that there is a terrible strategic relationship between Kalista and Elise that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Elise has a greater difficulty than Kalista. That means Kalista players should be careful when lining up Elise allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by bringing Kalista and Elise together, you may not be granting your other allies enough utility. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Elise teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
