Guide to Synergizing Shyvana and Kalista

Tips for Playing as Shyvana with Kalista

It can be valuable to purchase one of the items that can slow enemies: Frozen Mallet, Dead Man's Plate, or Entropy.

Shyvana's abilities all benefit from attacking units. As a result, Attack Speed items are more valuable on her than most champions.

Burnout is an ideal choice for jungling. Monsters will be hit by the full duration, and the speed boost improves her ganking potential.

Flame Breath is great to level-up against difficult lane opponents.

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.

Due to her passive, Kalista's Move Speed is effectively increased by Attack Speed.
