Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most trades due to Kalista's superior mobility and Alistar's engage threat, but can match their poke with W spam.
- Post-6 you gain significant pick potential with R, but still lose all-ins if Alistar lands combo.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W to poke when Kalista is last-hitting, then auto-attack while she's animation-locked on minions.
- Always position behind Lulu's E range so she can shield incoming Kalista Q poke.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early levels to hit 2 first and establish range advantage, then maintain slow push to deny Kalista's rend stacks on minions.
- Avoid hard shoving after level 3 as it opens you to Alistar flash combos.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never walk up to auto-attack without Lulu's W available, as Kalista will out-trade you with rend stacks and mobility.
- Don't use R defensively against Alistar combo - save it for picks when they're overextended.
