Guide to Synergizing Rek'Sai and Kalista

Tips for Playing as Rek'Sai with Kalista

Keeping tunnels spread out across the map will ensure you have choices when you want to cast Void Rush.

Cast Burrow before travelling around the map to take advantage of the increased Move Speed and the safety provided by Tremor Sense.

Tremor Sense can warn you of enemies closing in, and is particularly useful when entering enemy territory.

Advice to Understand How Kalista Will Play

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.
