Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to range disadvantage and limited engage tools against Caitlyn's trap control, but post-6 your R completely changes the dynamic by isolating their ADC.
- The matchup becomes heavily favorable once you reach 6 with proper positioning.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E to pull Kalista into favorable positions while she maintains rend stacks, then follow up with Q when enemies are grouped.
- Save R for isolating Caitlyn when Poppy can't immediately peel, creating guaranteed kill windows.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam to secure vision control and look for mid lane plays around level 6, as your ultimate threat forces enemy positioning changes.
- Time roams with Kalista's back timings to maintain lane pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use R on Poppy unless it's a guaranteed kill, as isolating the support leaves Kalista vulnerable to Caitlyn's damage.
- Don't engage without E available as your mobility is too limited to stick to targets without the pull.
