Who Wins

  • You win pre-6 through W denying Kalista's mobility and superior base damages in extended trades, but post-6 Mordekaiser's R can isolate your ADC and remove your peel potential.
  • The matchup shifts heavily in their favor once ultimates are available.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use W to deny Kalista's jump-in attempts, then follow with Q-auto-E combos when she's grounded or forced to walk.
  • Coordinate with Caitlyn's trap placements to create zones where Kalista cannot safely position.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam during cannon waves when Caitlyn can safely farm under tower, targeting mid lane around levels 4-6 before Mordekaiser's ultimate comes online.
  • Your E-flash combos are extremely potent for securing kills on immobile mid laners.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never use E aggressively without flash available against Mordekaiser, as his E-R combo will punish your engage and remove you from protecting Caitlyn.
  • Don't waste W reactively - use it proactively to deny Kalista's engage windows.
